Krish Kupathil — CEO
I’m a Partner at Avataar Venture Partners and an operator investor who has built, scaled, and exited companies as a founder, early team member, and investor. I help B2B tech leaders accelerate global expansion, unlock enterprise access via an extensive CXO network across the US, Europe, and Asia, and architect growth strategies—organic, M&A/roll ups, and channel led. Alongside investing, I’m an entrepreneur at heart who thrives on hands on operating work—GTM design, big logo entry, partner ecosystems, and cross border growth. I also bring practical telecom infrastructure depth as an investor operator in an optic fiber network (OFC) in India. Previously, I founded and led Mobiliya—scaling to ~600 people across six countries, winning Fortune 100 customers, and achieving a successful exit to QuEST Global (2018). I’ve since advised QuEST’s CEO on technology and growth and earlier led its global Hi Tech business. I’ve also co founded initiatives in emerging tech (e.g., zbyte) but my focus today is squarely on scaling enduring B2B companies across software, robotics, defense, IoT, security, and manufacturing.
