Founder & CEO at DATAEKO.AI

Hyderabad, Telangana, India

About

I’m the Founder & CEO of Dataeko.AI, building at the intersection of Data, AI, and Sustainability — with a services-first approach that’s a deliberate build discipline, not a placeholder for a future pivot. I believe in profitability over valuation theatre, and in pairing family-grade trust with institutional-grade execution rigor as we scale. Over two decades, I’ve held P&L ownership, led cross-functional teams, executed M&A, and built alliances across India, Americas, APAC, and Europe — as Managing Director at AION-Tech Solutions and CEO of ROQIT, where I scaled multi-million-dollar businesses and shipped cloud-native platforms for mobility and asset management at a nationwide, enterprise scale. That track record is the foundation Dataeko is compounding on. At Dataeko, we’re focused on landing anchor customers, de-risking early engagements through disciplined delivery, and building a zero-to-one story with clarity over hustle-signaling — institutional-grade rigor applied from day one, not bolted on later. What drives me: building as a core part of who I am, not just what I do. I’m drawn to organisations and people who value long-term direction over short-term optics, technical depth over buzzwords, and durable trust over transactional wins.
