Chief Executive Officer @ Supply Pilot

India

About

I’m the Founder & CEO of Supply Pilot, a company built to help hardware startups move from prototype to production — faster, smarter, and cheaper. After working across Silicon Valley and India in operations, supply chain, and manufacturing strategy, I saw a massive gap, founders were spending time solving supplier and production problems instead of focusing on innovation. Supply Pilot bridges that gap. We become your extended operations arm in India — handling procurement, supplier selection, tech transfer, and manufacturing scale-up so you can focus on building great products. At our core, we believe great products shouldn’t be limited by geography and every founder should have access to world-class manufacturing without burning capital. If you’re building something new in hardware, medtech, clean energy, or deep tech, we’d love to help bring it to life.
