Praveen B — Business Development Executive
Over 20 years leading high-performing technology teams and building businesses across the India(including GCC & ITES), US & Middle East — across software(SaaS, PaaS, Cloud, AI, Blockchain) domains. My journey has been defined by opportunities to build market presence from the ground up right from the scratch and grow them into sustainable, multimillion-dollar businesses. A firm believer in leading from the front, I enjoy working shoulder to shoulder with teams in the trenches — I’ve always found the best results come when you roll up your sleeves and work alongside your team — sharing challenges, wins, and the drive to constantly raise the bar together. I’m passionate about helping digital economy scale responsibly — whether it's enabling banks to embrace programmable money, or making enterprise automation more inclusive. I enjoy working closely with customers, empowering teams, and bringing simplicity to complex systems. When not at work, you’ll find me discussing the future of money, traveling with family,friends, playing cricket or enjoying good music over tea. My journey so far: 45% YoY revenue growth through enterprise SaaS acceleration. $53M+ ARR contribution across automation, AI & enterprise accounts. Scaled Big Data Solutions from idea to $250K MRR within 12 months. Led Apple’s ad-tech data initiatives saving $11M+ in costs. What I bring: CxO-level relationship management across BFSI, Digital Natives, Govt, Retail, Tech, Gaming and Manufacturing. Proven playbooks for ARR growth, GTM design, and product-led SaaS adoption. Passion for purpose-led tech through ever changing emerging technology
