Fractional CXO.
Startup Partner.
Scaling Simplified.
I help early-stage founders scale faster — by stepping in as a part-time CXO. From GTM strategy to team design and operational systems, I bring battle-tested execution minus the full-time baggage.
Trusted by groth-stage startups and market leaders
You don't need a full- time CXO. You need leverage.
I work with mission-driven startups as a part-time executive. You get the clarity, systems, and momentum you need — without the cost or complexity of a full-time hire.

Hi, I'm Saurabh.
For over a decade, I helped scale one of India's most impactful ed-tech startups. Today, I partner with founders who are building the next wave of ambitious companies.
This is my Career 2.0 — focused on building with more joy, depth, and intention.
If you're an early-stage founder who needs strategic clarity and hands-on execution, I'd love to jam.

What I believe
- Speed is a mindset, not a metric.
- Founders deserve real leverage, not busywork.
- Startups scale when systems do.
