Harjot Atwal — Co-Founder

Hi, my name is Harjot Singh Atwal. I am currently pursuing a dual degree: a Post Graduate Diploma in International Business from MDI Gurgaon and a Masters in Management from ESCP Business School, Paris. I completed my undergraduate studies at the Indian Institute of Information Technology, Lucknow, specialising in Information Technology. My professional journey began with a software engineering internship and then working full-time at Nykaa, where I developed key features for product listings, filters, review ratings, and recommendations, and implemented Python scripts for inventory automation with rigorous unit testing. Seeking further growth, I joined Headout as a Software Engineer and played a pivotal role in creating the Pre-Purchase Allotment System from scratch, designed multiple REST APIs, and significantly enhanced operational efficiency through improved inventory and booking automation. Most recently, at Spinny, I contributed to various backend teams using a diverse tech stack including Kotlin, Java, Python, Django, and Spring Boot, developing and maintaining complex systems that supported critical business functions and optimising performance for seamless operations. Throughout my career, I have demonstrated strong analytical and problem-solving abilities, adapting quickly to new challenges and thriving under pressure. My commitment to continuous learning is reflected in my pursuit of advanced degrees from MDI Gurgaon and ESCP Business School. I maintain a positive attitude, focusing on controllable factors, which has been crucial in navigating complex situations. My clear and assertive communication has been vital in my leadership roles and professional interactions. I am passionate about leveraging my diverse experiences and skills to make meaningful contributions and drive innovation in my field.
