Pratap Daruka — CEO

I’m the CFO and EVP at Tredence Inc., where I help shape the financial strategy of a company that lives at the intersection of data, AI, and human ingenuity. Over the past five years, I’ve led our 10X scale-up journey, transforming profitability, capital efficiency, and building resilience for our next phase of global growth. With 20+ years in finance, I bring a builder’s mindset - whether it’s raising capital, scaling operations, executing ESOP buybacks, or enabling day-to-day execution at speed. I’m grateful to be recognized as a Bay Area CFO of the Year finalist, CII CFO of the Year, BW Best CFO, and ET CFO Awards - milestones that reflect the teams and businesses I’ve been privileged to grow with. At Tredence, finance isn’t just about reporting - it’s a strategic growth partner powering AI-first initiatives, global expansion, M&A, pricing strategy, and risk governance. I also mentor future finance leaders, support startups as an angel investor, and believe that finance, at its best, is about empowering growth with clarity, confidence, and conviction.
