SaiKalyan Chakravarthy Anupindi
Founder, Filesie
From Hyderabad
Building

I received my Master's in Strategic Business from the University of Portsmouth, UK. Currently pursuing MBA from Narsee Monjee Institute of Management Studies, Mumbai towards the journey of continuous learning and self-development. These valuable educational experiences helped set me up to build my career in an in-demand and competitive industry. One area where I particularly flourished was in Marketing Management & Research methods, making me well-suited for leadership roles where I oversee marketing teams across Pan-India.

✪ Early Career ✪ 

During the early days of my career, I started to work for a Singapore-based FMCG company selling their inventory in south India. Developed interest in research methodology and moment strategy to make a huge sale. This period was a trigger point for me to pursue higher studies in the UK. 

✪ Mid-Career ✪

In 2008, as a marketing consultant for a fortune 100 Japanese company in the UK gave me a whole new working experience and the way we treat our colleagues or subordinates. Working for a Japanese company has given me an opportunity to learn more about being a leader than a boss. It helped me learn skills that are not part of your regular soft skill development program. 

✪ Entrepreneurial Journey ✪ 

The handful of experience handling teams, on leadership roles at a very young age, given me a new approach towards the never-ending journey – the Entrepreneurship Journey. 

The decision to become an entrepreneur in 2013 changed my life as a professional. Thanks to my wife Sowjanya Tata for her encouragement and faith. 

✪ Focus Areas ✪
 
My focus is to help understand the Small and medium-sized B2B Enterprise Business on the advantages of being online and having their presence on the web and utilize the full potential.

✪ Offerings ✪
1. Branding
2. Digital Marketing (Full Stack)
3. Website Design & Development
4. Content Marketing

✪ How I do it ✪

I start with the basics, connect with the customer to understand their short-term goals, long term objectives. Based on their feedback, we prepare the personas to execute the marketing strategies

✪ Awards ✪

40 under 40 award was my biggest achievement. As a Market leader, influencing 100’s of SMB’s to be online and explore the ocean of opportunities.

Grand Prize Winner of the prestigious Hult Prize in 2014, NanoHealth has touched over 70000 people across communities, corporates and households, bringing a deep impact in improving their health and quality of life. We aspire to reduce the growing burden of NCDs in India and prevent premature deaths by addressing challenges like under-diagnosis, poor prescription compliance, and non-standardized treatment.

NanoHealth's partnerships with various Government bodies, corporate houses and communities are the cornerstones of its vision towards leading the change from reactive and episodic care to proactive and continuous care.

Prior to founding NanoHealth, I was working as a consultant with i2 Technologies (JDA) for eight years wherein I designed business processes aimed at driving efficiency and profitability for large multinational firms. I intend to use the same expertise in designing healthcare systems that can reduce the socioeconomic burden of chronic diseases. I believe in a user engagement model with the right blend of human touch and technology that can revolutionize healthcare as we understand today.

Believe that living in harmony with Nature is the key to survival and development of human beings. Strong environmentalist with a passion to create greener and better future for all the living beings on planet Earth. 

We care about building a greener planet and one of the reasons why we started PlantDeck is because we were alarmed by the growing pollution, especially air pollution and plastic waste. We follow the Triple bottom line approach, whereby we are trying to make the planet greener, supporting earthenware artisans from the villages of India, and also building something financially sustainable - we are already cash flow positive. We believe that profits and social impact are not mutually exclusive and that the former can have a multiplier impact on the latter.

We believe in making the process of adding green as painless as possible by providing maximum value to our clients, and at the same time reclaiming the concrete jungle and turning it into a green oasis. 

We have a range of plants and planters (we don't sell plastic). We are into interior styling & space designing using plants and pottery, landscape designing etc.

PlantDeck Social is a social initiative where we have created a Syllabus including Plastic Management, Water Crisis and Management, Waste Management, Consumerism, Wildlife Protection, and Global Warming, and are taking this to Schools, Colleges, Corporates etc to educate people on how important it is to protect the environment and live in harmony with nature.

I'm also a Certified Independent Director, ready to bring governance expertise to growing organizations.

My expertise spans the complete business spectrum — from business & brand strategy to digital marketing to operations & growth hacking. This 360-degree perspective allows me to identify opportunities others miss & create sustainable, executable growth plans.

I've consulted with startups like Starbuzz.ai, Hesa, RTIwala, & AquaExchange, who have gone ahead to raise considerable funding after strengthening their business fundamentals, operations, & strategic positioning. My #Impact1founderAday mission connects me with entrepreneurs across diverse sectors — helping them build investor-ready businesses through strategic guidance & operational excellence.

I'm a trusted mentor with Stanford Seed, T-Hub, Wadhwani Foundation, Deshpande Startups, IIT Ropar's i-Hub aWaDH, & Startup Telangana and multiple national AICs. My corporate foundation at HDFC Bank taught me execution discipline, while my entrepreneurial journey showed me innovation artistry.

When I'm not strategizing with founders, you'll find me volunteering with ecosystem enabler like Headstart Network Foundation, PPP like SCSC, & NGOs like Goonj — because giving back to the society as a whole is just as important as building it.

On a mission to make the lives of the under privileged people sustainable by giving them access to basic education, to earn with dignity & respect.

“The hardest challenge being an HR is that sometimes you have to be the LAWYER, the JUDGE and the HANGMAN.” 
― Hassan Choughari

I am a woman & at the risk of sounding sexist, I DO hustle my way everyday. In my 5 years of rich & dynamic work experience I have worn many hats: Finance/Business Analyst, Special Educator, Relationship Manager, HR & People Manager. From working with big giants such as Goldman Sachs to brilliant startups such as Lookup, I have worked hard & might I add VERY HARD to have a unique ability to manage multi disciplinary projects & to navigate through complex challenges. End to end HR practices, sound learning about Operations, Basic knowledge & understanding about Finance & Corporate Law, Employee relations, Management consultancy, Corporate Training, Training & development are some areas I have covered but the best part about my job is meeting new people & adopting a divergent viewpoint to different situations.

High Emotional Intelligence & motivation, I have an insatiable appetite to learn something new everyday & when not working, I make modest attempts to be a good elder sister, wrestle with my dogs (English Mastiff and a Great Dane)& serve the CEO of my life My mother. 

I am currently working on my shortcomings & one feedback I have received from my well wishers is that my dedication sometimes works against me.
Work Life balance is something I STRONGLY believe in so if you are looking for Robots who do not have a life, I am not the one for you. But, If you are someone who shares the same passion as I do i.e build a strong and a healthy working environment, hire world class talents to be a part of A team, increase productivity and employee welfare, then we should definitely connect. 

I give my 100% to any task which means Micromanagement isn’t something I would entertain. So, let’s discuss the task and then let me take over and deliver results. 

Did i say I love travelling and writing?

Revolutionising Urban Mobility.

Hornback E-Mobility: We offer innovative mobility solutions that are aimed to impact the lives of our customers for better.

As someone who's passionate design about innovation, I feel fortunate to be doing what I love - creating innovative mobility solutions. It's a field that's constantly evolving, and there's always room for improvement. For me, the focus has always been on how we can enhance the established, and make things better.

It's the challenge of taking an existing technology or product and finding ways to optimize it that excites me the most. I'm driven by the idea of solving problems and creating something that can make a real difference in people's lives.

Of course, this kind of work is never easy. It requires a lot of dedication, hard work, and persistence. But for me, the reward of seeing an idea come to life is worth it all. It's an incredible feeling to know that something I've worked on can have a positive impact on the world.

In the end, I believe that the pursuit of innovation is about more than just creating new things. It's about making the world a better place, one step at a time. And that's what motivates me to keep pushing forward, to keep creating, and to keep making a difference.

    Naval and Nivi: The AI Industrial Revolution with Guillermo Rauch, Blake Scholl, Max Hodak

    Naval and Nivi sit down with Guillermo Rauch (Vercel), Blake Scholl (Boom Supersonic), and Max Hodak (Science) on AI as the next industrial revolution. The conversation covers software factories and waste tokens, vibe coding hardware (Blake's turbine blade), the regulatory frontier (why China's FDA is beating ours), and the autonomous company (what it means when your job becomes training the agent). Worth watching for how three founders building in very different stacks converge on the same questions.

    Nikunj Kothari built Nock: a Claude Code skill that pitches like him

    Nikunj Kothari (partner at FPV Ventures) used Claude Code to build Nock, a personal skill grounded in his real conversations. He pulled 200+ founder pitch notes captured by Granola, narrowed to ~53 with the strongest debate, layered in his essays on the kind of founders he loves, then iterated against 5-10 real decks until the output matched what he'd actually ask in the room. Founders raising can try it at nikunjk.com/nock; VCs who want their own can build at nikunjk.com/buildnock.

    Can Tech Legends Find the Liar? Mafia with Founders Fund

    Founders Fund gathered Sam Altman, Palmer Luckey, Bryan Johnson, Dylan Field, Moxie Marlinspike, Tim Urban, Ryan Petersen, Liv Boeree, Cyan Banister, Trae Stephens, Josie Zayner, and Michael Solana for an evening of Mafia, the murder-mystery parlor game. Players are secretly assigned roles and must use deception and debate to eliminate the opposing team before they are outnumbered. Worth watching for how some of the sharpest people in tech read each other under pressure.
