Hiren Shah — Co-Founder
I started working at the age of 14—as a plastic bag canvasser, retail shop helper, and computer coach. Those early days taught me the value of hard work, empathy, and resilience—lessons I still carry as a founder. Today, I’m the Co-founder & MD of Vertoz (NSE: VERTOZ)—an AI-powered MADTech and CloudTech platform company at the intersection of marketing, advertising, and technology. Alongside my brother Ashish, we built Vertoz to empower businesses with programmatic platforms, AI-driven solutions, and data-first strategies that deliver measurable impact. With over two decades of experience, my focus areas include: • Business growth and market expansion • High-ROI ad tech solutions • Building culture-first, high-performance teams Beyond Vertoz, I support early-stage startups—not just through funding, but by helping them grow their business, build GTM strategies, and align operations for scale. We’re also expanding our HR leadership, recruitment, and business process teams. If you’re driven by culture and growth, let’s connect. Outside work, I mentor young coders, learn from my son Hitaarth & Mantra and stay endlessly curious.
