Tarun Dua is a pioneer in India’s cloud and AI/ML infrastructure space. A computer science graduate from NIT Kurukshetra, he founded E2E Networks in 2009 with the vision of building India’s first homegrown hyperscale public cloud focused on AI/ML infrastructure.

Under his leadership, E2E Networks has grown into a leading platform that powers higher education institutions, startups, enterprises, and research organisations globally. The company is recognised for offering self-service, high-performance cloud infrastructure and platform tools purpose-built for AI/ML workloads, including powerful GPU instances such as A100, H100, and 64×H100 configurations.

A strong advocate of open-source technologies and data sovereignty, Dua has guided E2E Networks to become MeitY-empanelled and NSE-listed, while enabling AI/ML-led digital transformation at scale, a once-in-a-generation opportunity for businesses and institutions to leapfrog into the future.

Prior to E2E, he held engineering and technical roles at Yahoo, GlobalLogic, ValueFirst, and Nanocast R&D. He also lectured at JMIT Radaur, gaining hands-on expertise in system architecture, high-availability infrastructure, and open-source systems.
