Driven by a passion for empowering startups, I founded Pattani Infoway with the mission to deliver innovative, scalable solutions that enable businesses to thrive. With a strong foundation in development management, agile delivery, and end-to-end software development, I’ve become a recognized industry expert in creating and delivering cutting-edge IT solutions.

As the Head of Start-up Practice at AAPNA Infotech, I work closely with startups to turn their innovative ideas into successful digital products, ensuring timely deliveries that exceed client expectations.

At AAPNA Infotech, we specialize in line-of-business application development, delivering cost-efficient solutions that lower total cost of ownership (TCO) and enhance ROI through increased operational efficiency. We take pride in offering scalable, flexible solutions that cater to clients across the globe.

In addition to my leadership roles, I am passionate about mentoring tech startups. I enjoy guiding early-stage companies through their growth journey, helping them build strong technical teams, refine their strategies, and transform their ideas into market-ready products.

Now, as I expand my focus into Artificial Intelligence, I am excited to help startups leverage AI to drive innovation, automate processes, and make smarter decisions. I’m continuously exploring new technologies to stay at the forefront of industry advancements and create impactful solutions for businesses.

"eChai has played a truly pivotal role in HummingBird’s journey — even before Day Zero. From ideation to establishment and into growth, it’s been a constant source of support. It connected me with incredible people who’ve become more than just friends. One of the biggest reasons I chose to stay in Ahmedabad is because of the eChai community. It has shaped my growth — both personally and professionally — in ways that are hard to articulate. Honestly, words fall short when I try to express what eChai means to me. I’m deeply thankful and forever grateful to eChai for being such an integral part of my journey."
