About

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.

Stepout

Founder & CTO

Jul 2023Present · 2 yrs 8 mos · Bengaluru, Karnataka, India · On-site

  • StepOut is a sports performance analysis and ecosystem technology startup. In simple terms, we help teams and players improve their performance and identify the right talent through data.
  • Think about academics — we know whether we’re good or bad at a subject based on the marks we receive. But in sports, this kind of data-driven evaluation is largely missing.
  • Moreover, performance analysis technology is typically restricted to elite levels — the Premier League, IPL, ISL, etc. Reserve teams, youth teams, and grassroots levels are often completely left out. Even where technology exists, it's either unaffordable or difficult to interpret. Coaches often spend 2–3 days manually collecting data. As a result, data-driven youth development and talent identification are nearly non-existent.
  • That’s why we created a solution where a user can simply upload a match video on our platform. That’s it. Our AI then identifies players using jersey numbers and tags every single event on the pitch — making performance analysis accessible, affordable, and scalable. The system is 100% remote, delivers 99% accurate data, and is compatible with any video format.
  • We’re proud to be the first Asian startup to win the Reimagine Football competition, hosted by Ajax, KNVB, City Football Group, and UEFA. We’re now active in 18 countries and partnered with the likes of AFC Ajax in the Netherlands, Rayo Vallecano in La Liga, MLS next academies in USA, NSW Association in Australia, Al-Ula FC in Saudi Arabia, Bengaluru FC in India to name a few.
