Karthik Bhaskaran

Tech leader and founding member at Datadivr, where I’ve been instrumental in growing the company from zero to 240% YoY growth in two years — without external funding.

I’ve architected and delivered high-impact, scalable data and AI solutions across Food & Beverage and Life Sciences, two sectors often constrained by legacy systems, cost sensitivity, and strict regulatory environments.

Built a self driven , high performing team of 12 members with very less attrition rate towards a scalable process & successful practice in this space.

Key leadership contributions:

• Built and scaled the tech team from scratch, fostering a strong engineering culture focused on ownership, agility, and delivery excellence

• Navigated complex enterprise environments, especially in the Indian market, with custom, no-template solutions
• Bridged strategy and execution, translating evolving business needs into scalable, long-term technology roadmaps
