Varun Subramanian — CEO

Follow me for content on startups, personal finance, and fitness. I’m an ex-founder and startup operator with 8+ years of experience across funded tech companies. I’ve built from zero, scaled across functions, and helped shape company direction wherever I’ve worked. Currently, I’m part of the Strategy & Operations team at Sprinto, helping companies breeze through security compliances. My focus lies in translating leadership vision into structured execution—operating plans, OKRs, dashboards, and cross-functional systems that bring alignment and predictability to a fast-scaling organization. I’ve also led multiple strategic initiatives—from building competitive-insight models that inform growth decisions to driving GTM experiments across new customer segments and markets. The work sits at the intersection of data, strategy, and execution—where impact compounds through clarity and discipline. Before strategy, I helped build Sprinto’s product function from the ground up—working on product-market fit, new launches, and feedback systems that shaped the product roadmap. I also led the creation of the Sprinto Trust Center, which opened a new direction in the company’s product strategy. Earlier, as Chief of Staff, I partnered closely with leadership to strengthen our operating rhythm, scale hiring, and establish foundational processes that continue to drive consistency across teams. Before Sprinto, I founded KYLO, a curated EdTech platform connecting students and niche instructors worldwide. We scaled globally across five countries, raised pre-seed funding, and delivered strong customer adoption before eventually shutting down the venture—an experience that taught me the importance of market focus, execution systems, and clear decision-making. Other early chapters: • ReStok (FMCG tech): Onboarded leading FMCG brands like ITC, Nestlé, and GCPL, driving digital adoption across traditional retail networks. • Clarisights (Sequoia-funded): Worked directly with the CEO to strengthen business operations and build early go-to-market programs in Europe. Key milestones: • Business plan topper in college. • Scaled first business 0→1 at 21. • Became Chief of Staff at 22. • As a solo, non-tech founder—raised, scaled, pivoted, and exited within 2 years. • At Sprinto—contributed to building systems, products, and direction for long-term scale. If any of this resonates, say hi here! (Opinions are my own. Always learning, building, and sharing what works—and what doesn’t.)
