Ankit R.

Professional background

I'm an experienced technology leader with a background spanning software engineering, product development, and executive roles and fractional CTO positions. I've built and scaled digital businesses, led high-performing engineering teams, and driven cloud and DevOps transformation across sectors.

As an angel investor, I focus on early-stage startups with strong technical foundations and commercially viable visions. I'm particularly interested in ventures solving real-world problems with scalable tech — including SaaS, developer tools, fintech, AI/ML, and B2B platforms.

Beyond capital, I bring strategic guidance, product insight, and hands-on experience in architecture, hiring, and go-to-market alignment. I enjoy working closely with founders, especially those with a bias toward execution, clarity, and adaptability.

I'm open to mentoring, investing, and advisory roles where I can make a meaningful impact.
