Piu Sharma — Co-Founder

Senior engineering leader with 15+ years of experience building and scaling high-impact products across growth-stage and enterprise environments. I specialize in turning complex ideas into scalable, reliable systems while building strong, outcome-driven teams. Across roles at Nutanix, Moveworks, and Khatabook, I have worked with engineering teams through major product launches, platform re-architecture efforts, and rapid scale phases. My focus has consistently been on quality, scalability, performance, engineering best practices, and building systems that deliver measurable business value. I care deeply about end-to-end user experience — from system design and backend scalability to frontend usability. I enjoy working at the intersection of product, engineering, and strategy, ensuring that technical decisions directly support company goals. Technically hands-on and quick to adapt, I am particularly enthusiastic about emerging AI technologies and their practical application in real-world products. I thrive in environments where I can combine strategic thinking, strong execution, and team leadership to drive meaningful outcomes. Core strengths: • AI-Driven Product Innovation • Scalable System Architecture • Product & Platform Strategy • Engineering Leadership & Team Building • Performance Optimization • Cross-Functional Execution
