Kshitij Purwar — Co-Founder
Having spent most of my career in sustainability, I bring a unique blend of technical expertise, entrepreneurial mindset, and people-centric leadership. As the founder of India's first VC-backed climate tech company, I cultivated a people-driven approach, successfully building and managing a team of 25 engineers and data scientists. In my role as the lead architect at Blue Sky Analytics, I spearheaded the development of our entire tech foundation, leveraging various AWS services like Lambda, ECS, Docker, S3, RDS, SNS, Step Functions, and more, implemented via Infrastructure as Code (IaC) for version control and CI/CD processes. To cater to the niche market, I led the development of tailored solutions, including a NodeJS API gateway for spatiotemporal requests and a production-grade PostgreSQL cluster with H3, PostGIS, and TimescaleDB for geospatial querying, enabling the processing of TBs of satellite imagery into actionable climate insights. As an entrepreneur, I have worn multiple hats, including engineering manager, product owner, and business developer, honing my ability to translate strategic visions into executable plans and drive sustainable growth. My unique blend of technical proficiency, entrepreneurial mindset, and people-centric leadership skills, acquired through my founder journey, positions me as a valuable asset for organizations seeking to foster innovation, cultivate high-performing teams, and make a significant impact in the sustainability domain.
