I'm Karthik

​

My hunch is someone you trust mentioned my name, or you stumbled upon one of my social links online. Whatever path you took, I’m really glad you’re here.

Here’s a quick lay of the land so you can find what you’re looking for and we can start something beautiful together.

​

If you’re here, you’re probably wanting to or already building something ambitious, something that needs the right people, the right systems, and the right push. That’s where I come in.

​

I’ve spent the last 15+ years living at the intersection of people, talent, finance, operations and business, helping global tech startups mainly Web3 and AI teams scale from zero to one and one to many, the classic startup glow-up arc.

My work spans head hunting, people management, making numbers count, operations, and everything it takes to turn chaos into clarity for fast-moving founders.

 

I operate as a full-stack builder for teams, blending strategic depth with hands-on execution. Whether it's designing scalable talent engines or guiding founders through the messy middle, I bring a deep understanding of the startup world specially Web3 and AI ecosystem and what it truly takes to win.

​

If you’re building with speed, ambition, and conviction, you’re in the right place. Let’s make something remarkable happen.​​​

The fastest way to win is simple, build a right team and systems around that makes winning inevitable.
