About

3x Founder | Strategy & Technology Leader | IIM Calcutta | SRCC I build things that scale — businesses, platforms, and teams. As the Co-Founder & CTO of HireVeda, I’m solving India’s hiring problem with tech-first precision. We've helped 200+ companies hire smarter, faster, and better by building systems that go beyond traditional recruitment — from custom ERP pipelines to enriched candidate intelligence. But my story didn’t start in HR tech. From transforming ad-revenue strategy at Zee and Star, to consulting for global investment firms and tech startups at Satkaponi, I’ve worked across strategy, product, P&L, and digital innovation. Whether it was automating investor relations, designing AI-powered platforms, or building media-tech products before they were buzzwords — I’ve always thrived at the intersection of business insight and tech execution. What I Bring -> Founder’s mindset with deep operating experience -> Full-stack thinking — Strategy, Product, Tech & GTM -> Domain agility across Media, Education, Fintech & SaaS -> A sharp eye for ROI, scalability, and user outcomes -> Proven track record in building 0→1 and scaling 1→n
