Utkarsh Vijay — Co-Founder
A builder at heart who learns by doing, I’m driven by the challenge of turning complex, real-world problems into scalable, technology-led solutions. Over the past decade, as part of Samaga, I’ve worked across agriculture, livestock, and public delivery, partnering with the Chief Minister’s Offices in Odisha, Haryana, and Uttar Pradesh to design and implement programs collectively valued at over $5 billion, impacting millions of citizens. At Samagra, I played a key role in scaling the firm from a $2.5M to a $10M organization; helping build its technology and AI capabilities from the ground up. I bring deep experience in developing Agriculture Digital Public Infrastructure in Odisha and leading AI-driven governance initiatives such as Krishi SahAIyak (winner of the IndiaAI Innovation Award 2024). Our work attracted global attention, including a visit from Bill Gates to Odisha to witness how AI and data are transforming agriculture. The journey culminated in the evolution of Bharat SahAIyak, an AI platform I helped conceptualize, which was later acquired by Ola Krutrim - a milestone for India’s growing AI ecosystem. Before Samagra, I co-founded Indian Lawyers Forum (ILF) — a platform that grew into a community of over 1.5 lakh legal professionals with 15,000 paid subscribers, built to keep India’s legal fraternity informed and connected through curated insights and updates. With over 12 years of experience across strategy, product, and entrepreneurship, I’m now channeling my energy into my next professional bet — Twigg, a modern personal finance platform built to make money simple, explainable, and deeply personal. If you’re working at the intersection of technology, finance, or public systems, I’d love to connect.
