Amitava Bhattacharjee — Co-Founder

With over 25 years of experience in the software industry, I have built and scaled engineering teams, delivered complex products, and led transformation programs across startups and global enterprises. I specialize in taking organizations from zero to scale—establishing teams from scratch, growing them into high-performing groups, and instilling a culture of ownership, innovation, and execution excellence. In recent years, my focus has been on harnessing the power of AI and automation to drive efficiency and innovation. I’ve successfully led initiatives where automation levels reached more than 90%, integrating AI models into business processes to accelerate execution, reduce costs, and free teams to focus on higher-value work. While much of my work is at the leadership level—driving multimillion-dollar product portfolios and partnering with stakeholders—I still stay close to technology. I continue to write Python code, experiment with AI solutions, and mentor engineers to think creatively about solving problems with modern tools. Beyond my organizational roles, I actively mentor and advise startups, helping founders refine ideas, build scalable solutions, and navigate the challenges of growth. Highlights: > Built and scaled engineering teams from scratch across startups and MNCs. > Spearheaded AI-driven automation initiatives, achieving >90% automation in critical projects. > Successfully managed products generating multimillion-dollar revenues. > Experienced in leading multi-geography, cross-functional teams and customer-facing collaborations. > Passionate about mentoring, coaching, and growing sustainable engineering teams. I hold an MS in Software Engineering from BITS Pilani, an MCA from NIT Jamshedpur, and a Physics (Hons.) degree from Calcutta University.
