About

I spent 25 years as a corporate leader building and scaling global enterprise technology programs. Then I made a conscious decision to walk away from corporate comfort — with clarity and conviction. Clarity that AI transformation demands builders who deeply understand enterprise reality. Conviction that we can build a world-class, enterprise-grade AI platform from India, with global impact.

Current Experience

Cogniquest ai

Cofounder & CEO

Jan 2022 – Present · 4 yrs 4 mos

I co-founded Cogniquest AI after 25 years in global enterprise leadership, driven by a clear belief: AI transformation must be built on deep enterprise context, not shortcuts or hype.
In the initial years, I focused heavily on evangelizing the possibilities of context-aware document intelligence, helping build trust among clients who were naturally skeptical due to their prior experiences with OCR and RPA solutions.
Key focus areas:
Building a modular, data-centric AI platform for document intelligence and enterprise knowledge
Partnering with global enterprises to co-create production-ready AI workflows
Driving GTM strategy with system integrators, platform partners, and hyperscaler ecosystems
Scaling a high-caliber founding and engineering team with deep AI and domain expertise
Working closely with investors, board advisors, and industry leaders to shape long-term strategy
Outcome:
Cogniquest is now trusted by global enterprises and partners looking beyond OCR/RPA toward context-aware, explainable, and scalable AI transformation.
