Jeet Karmakar — CEO
I’m an engineer-turned-entrepreneur with over 8 years of experience in product development, full-stack engineering, and team leadership. After scaling platforms and teams at WorkIndia, from early-stage tech contributor to Engineering Manager—I co-founded StepOut, a sports tech company focused on democratizing performance analysis in youth sports and beyond. I come from Kolkata (and have a blood relation with sport - cricket and football equally), graduated in Computer Science from NIT Durgapur, and built my first startup while still in college. Today, I bring that same curiosity and scrappiness to everything I build—combining engineering excellence, user-first thinking, and a deep belief that great tech should be accessible, affordable, and impactful. At StepOut, we’re solving a problem I’ve been passionate about since college: Why is sports performance analysis only accessible to the elites? Why is youth talent left behind? We blend computer vision, machine learning, and AI to offer affordable, scalable, and actionable insights to players, coaches, and academies. Our goal is to help them improve performance and identify the right talent. Essentially, we’re bridging the gap between today's prodigies and tomorrow's icons! We’ve partnered with 60+ clubs and academies across 18+ countries, analyzed over 50,000 players, and became the first Asian startup to win the UEFA-Ajax Reimagine Football Innovation Challenge. Driven by a belief in impact through data, I’m always excited to build at the intersection of technology and purpose. As the founder of StepOut, I primarily focus on the technical, product, customer experience and fundraising aspects of the company. However, a significant portion of my time also goes into strategizing business development and tech driven operational growth.
