Karan Jain — CEO
Karan Jain is the Founder and CEO of NayaOne, the platform helping global banks, insurers, and regulators accelerate AI adoption and digital innovation safely and at scale. Before founding NayaOne, Karan spent over a decade as a CIO and transformation leader within major financial institutions, where he saw firsthand how the friction between governance and delivery often stifled progress. Recognised among the Top 30 CIOs in the UK, he led large-scale technology and platform initiatives, gaining a deep understanding of how complex institutions operate — and where change breaks down. A third-time entrepreneur, Karan built NayaOne to solve that exact challenge — enabling enterprises to meet market pressures and deliver innovation at pace by testing, integrating, and scaling fintech and AI solutions in weeks, not years. Under his leadership, NayaOne has become a trusted partner for financial institutions and central banks worldwide, enabling AI adoption, digital sandboxing, and vendor acceleration at scale. Karan regularly speaks on the future of enterprise AI, open finance, digital assets, and quantum technologies.
