Hi, I’m Prathyusha Davuluru, a proud member of the Ross MBA Class of 2026. I’m excited to share my journey and support prospective students exploring the Ross experience.

I grew up in a small village in southern India and moved to the U.S. to pursue my Master’s in Computer Science. Since then, I’ve worked across a variety of industries—including automotive, financial services, aviation, e-commerce, and energy. I’m currently a Software Tech Lead at Ford Motor Company in the Marketing, Sales, and Services division, where I lead platform innovation to enhance customer engagement through cross-functional collaboration across multiple product portfolios. Prior to Ford, I held roles at Ford Credit, American Airlines, GSI Commerce, and Jean Martin, contributing to product development, revenue optimization, and process improvement initiatives.

I chose the Ross MBA to challenge myself and broaden my business perspective—and it’s been incredibly rewarding. The action-based learning model, combined with the cohort structure, has helped me build meaningful connections and gain hands-on experience while balancing work and family life. I’ve also benefited from leadership programs like Story Lab and the Crisis Challenge, and enjoyed participating in case competitions such as the GenAI Case Competition and the Michigan Investment Challenge. Ross has transformed how I think and lead, helping me complement my technical background with strong business acumen in a deeply supportive and engaging environment.

I’m passionate about giving back to the community that has given me so much. If you have any questions about the program, my journey, or anything else, I’d be happy to connect and share insights. Go Blue!
