The Indian Connection to Alexa’s Voice
India-born Rohit Prasad was ranked No. 9 (and Reid No. 10) in Fast Company's 100 most creative people in business in 2017. Fast Company said Prasad and Reid had turned Alexa into a "category-defining consumer experience."
Alexa, who is your creator? “I was invented by Amazon.” That’s Alexa’s normal response to the question.
