Piyush Raj A. — CEO
For 16+ years across Europe, the US, the UK and India, I’ve been obsessed with one question : why do companies move slow when they could move smart? As Co-Founder of HirePlusPlus and Bridgentech, I’m fixing that. At HirePlusPlus, we built Maya — possibly the first Agentic AI Recruiter that sources, sorts, screens, and interviews candidates like a pro — across roles, languages, and time zones. Not a point tool. A full recruiter. Available as saas subscription and modules. At Bridgentech, we deliver C2H and high-velocity staffing and hiring services for enterprises that can’t afford slow hiring or bad fits. I’m an engineer (MIT Manipal) turned strategist (SPJIMR + ESB Reutlingen), and I like solving real problems with speed, accountability, and measurable impact. Built around the value system of 4T: Trust, Truth, Transparency and Technology. I’ve seen how tech can bridge continents, and how people, the right people; can move mountains. That’s what drives me every day. When not building or scaling, I’m with my daughter Toshani, reading about geopolitics, experimenting in the kitchen, or lost in music and poetry. Let’s connect if you’re building something bold, hiring globally, or just curious about how AI is quietly rewriting the rules of work. raj.piyush@bridgentech.com | akhouri.p@hireplusplus.com
