About

Building Scalekit - an Auth platform for AI Applications and Agents. Scalekit simplifies identity and access management for developers building Agentic Applications or MCP Servers or even web applications. Scalekit substantially shortens time-to-market to grow into the enterprise customer segment and saves engineering costs — allowing SaaS teams to focus on their core product and not be burdened with the overhead of developing and maintaining enterprise platform capabilities. Prior to Scalekit, I co-founded Pipemonk (acquired by Freshworks). At Freshworks, I built and led platform products for Authentication, User management, Billing, Customer Data Platform (CDP), and more.

Building and scaling software capabilities for enterprise customers is hard. Today, companies default to building these enterprise capabilities in-house. However this takes several quarters of development time, costs millions of dollars, and deviates focus from the core product.
Scalekit offers a delightful way for B2B/SaaS companies to offer enterprise admin and security capabilities such as Authentication, User Management, Audit Logging, Authorization, etc.
Using our suite of developer-centric products, companies can scale and expand into enterprise customer segments in under two weeks, versus several quarters of internal product development.
We’re building a platform to implement crucial features like Single Sign-on, Directory Sync, Multi-factor Authentication, Session Management, Login & Signup experiences, and Role-Based Access Controls.
We’re empowering every B2B SaaS app to scale without limitations. Come and join us!
