Amit Kumar — CTO
As the founding CTO of Happy People AI, I lead the technological vision and strategy, driving innovation and growth through advanced technology integration. I focus on building scalable, future-ready solutions, orchestrating high-performing engineering teams, and maintaining strong relationships with stakeholders to ensure our platform sets new standards in its offerings. Before co-founding Happy People AI, I played a pivotal role at Al Jazeera Media Network, in its digital transformation journey. I managed landmark projects at Aljazeera, including the Coverage of Covid Pandemic, US Elections of 2020, digital operations for the 2022 Qatar Football World Cup, the Russia-Ukraine war to name a few.

This experience sharpened my ability to manage complexity, scale operations, and deliver results that drive strategic objectives. With a background in engineering and business—having earned an MBA from IMT Ghaziabad and a Bachelor’s in Engineering from Manipal Institute of Technology—I bridge the gap between technology and business strategy, ensuring we consistently innovate and scale our solutions to meet market needs.
