CEO & Co-Founder @ Simelabs - Digital, AI/ML, Automation, Robotics, Gen AI.

About

I started my career as a Software Developer, focusing on telecom switch programming. My journey in tech led me to pursue an MBA in Finance, after which I gained valuable experience in securities and capital markets, working with top custodian banks like Bank of New York Mellon and Statestreet. In 2014, I followed my entrepreneurial path and founded a software services company. Over the next few years, I scaled it to over 300+ employees and acquired two other IT companies—one focused on Microsoft practices and the other specializing in product engineering, both operating in the same technology park. A year later, I successfully led the company through its acquisition by Astek, a French multinational, providing an excellent exit for our shareholders. Today, I lead the Indian offshore delivery center for Astek as the Country Head. My experience spans technology, finance, and leadership, and I am passionate about growing businesses, creating innovative solutions, and building strategic partnerships.
