Ani (Aniruddh) Maniktala — Business Development Executive
I like to think of myself as a Swiss Army knife for business growth: part analyst, part strategist, part storyteller. At Deel, I work with enterprise organizations to simplify global hiring, payroll, and contractor management — helping teams bring their entire international workforce onto one compliant, unified platform. Every day, I partner with HR, Payroll, Talent Acquisition, and Finance leaders navigating the realities of operating across multiple countries — fragmented vendors, compliance risk, and limited visibility. Before Deel, I worked with early-stage startups across healthcare, fintech, and sustainability, helping founders turn messy ideas into clear strategy — from market research and data analysis to sales messaging that resonates with buyers. Outside of work, I’m a writer at heart. I’ve authored a book on entrepreneurship and regularly write about business, economics, and growth. Whether through words or numbers, I’m passionate about turning insight into stories that drive action.
