Shamik Datta — Co-Founder
Building SportzEngage, an AI-powered sports analytics platform with a proprietary CV and AI stack — starting with cricket through our flagship app, CricIQ. Engineering leader with 20+ years of experience building and scaling products from zero to impact — across startups, acquisitions, and high-growth environments. I’ve co-founded two startups (one acquired by Myntra) and led engineering through multiple phases of scale, driving product roadmaps and platform architecture in fast-moving, resource-constrained settings, while delivering measurable business outcomes. Love to stay close to the craft — diving into code and tackling complex problems when it counts. I'm passionate about building strong engineering cultures, mentoring deeply, and bringing clarity to technical vision. While I’ve worked across teams of all sizes, I’m especially energized by small, sharp, high-agency teams that move fast and build with intent.
