Karthik Sutrave — CEO
As the Founder & CEO of Zobaze, I’m passionate about empowering MSMEs to embrace the digital age. At Zobaze, we’ve built a mobile platform that transforms traditional business practices into fully digital operations. Entirely bootstrapped, Zobaze now supports lakhs of active businesses, fueling their growth in an increasingly digital world. My entrepreneurial journey began at age 21 when I founded Krazyhub, a social media web app that attracted over 5,000 active users. This early success ignited a passion for building impactful products. Post-graduation, I pursued this passion by developing and scaling more than ten apps, each achieving over 500,000 downloads—a hobby that turned into a driving force for innovation. As an alumnus of Stanford Ignite, I’m deeply committed to problem-solving and believe in the power of first-principles thinking. My strength lies in crafting visionary product strategies and driving digital distribution, continually pushing the boundaries of what’s possible.
