Heres what CricBuzz says about him.
With the growth of Zaheer Khan and Ashish Nehra in the 2000s, Prasad found it difficult to come back to the national side. He announced his retirement in 2005, and started taking up coaching assignments. He was the coach of the India U-19 side which became runners up in the 2006 World Cup. Post the Greg Chappell era, Prasad was appointed India's bowling coach in May, 2007. He worked well with a young pace attack and tasted tremendous success, including Test series wins in England and New Zealand, an ODI series win in Australia and a successful campaign at the inaugural T20 World Cup in South Africa. He was credited for the development of promising pacer Ishant Sharma, and worked well with fast bowling mainstay Zaheer Khan. However, he lost his job after India failed in the T20 World Cup and the Champions trophy in 2009. He worked as the bowling coach of the Chennai Super Kings and was part of the team when they won the trophy in 2010.
Interesting fact:
Prasad's most famous moment came in the 1996 World Cup quarter finals. After hitting Prasad for a boundary, Sohail taunted the bowler and openly sledged him, but found his stumps rattled the next ball. The wicket turned out to be a turning point, as Pakistan went on to lose the game.

Heres what ESPNcricinfo says about him.
As the new ball partner of statemate Javagal Srinath, Venkatesh Prasad was an important member of the Indian team from his debut in 1996 until he was passed over in 2001. Tall and proportionally built, Prasad's great strength is that he could move the ball both ways. A deceptive slower ball also proved an useful weapon. Not surprisingly, Venky achieved better figures in more helpful conditions abroad than at home, where the slow, bald tracks did not encouraged his mode of attack. Yet, paradoxically enough, his most devastating spell came at Chennai where, in the first Test in January 1999, he brought Pakistan's second innings to a swift end with figures of 6 for 33, which included a spell of 5 for 0. A calm, unruffled team man, Prasad's effective seam bowling was also invaluable to the country in the shorter version of the game. Following retirement, he took to coaching, training the Under-19 side and later taking over as coach of his state side Karnataka. He was appointed India's bowling coach for the tour of Bangladesh in May 2007. Prasad received praise from various members of the Indian squad and worked well with India's promising new-ball pair, Zaheer Khan and Ishant Sharma. In that role, he was involved in feats he did not taste during his playing career - Test series wins in England and New Zealand. However, two disappointing performances by the bowlers in the major ICC events of 2009 cost him his job. He also worked as bowling coach for the IPL franchise Chennai Super Kings.
