Founder, Cortiq Group · AI products with purpose
Builder when the answer is unclear. Operator when execution matters.
Founder of Cortiq Group, an AI product company building intelligence people can trust — starting with JobsAIQ. Nearly three decades building ventures, modernizing SaaS portfolios and fixing go-to-market across India, the U.S., Japan and Australia — where the measure is adoption and revenue, not announcements.

Cortiq Group · Founded June 2026
Not another AI company — a company built around AI products. Cortiq sits between complex information and real decisions, so people can move forward with confidence. Founded in India, built to be judged internationally.
We don't build AI to replace judgement. We build AI to strengthen it.
Understand
See the context behind the decision — data, people, goals and circumstances — before any intelligence is applied.
Intelligence
Connect signals into meaning and show the working. Confidence and limits travel with every output.
Act
Turn insight into a next step a person can take — a useful move, not a verdict — and learn from what happens.
Continuously learning · Always human-led

Cortiq Group — JobsAIQ, HumanIQ, SportsIQ, EnterpriseIQ
Jun 2026 — Present · Founder
Founded Cortiq to build AI products for decisions that matter: understand the context, reason across signals, then hand a person a next step they can act on. JobsAIQ — career intelligence with traceable, cited scoring — is the first product in market.
Splink Pro AI — OTSI Joint Venture
2025 — 2026 · Chief Executive Officer
Founded and led a smartphone-first human-performance platform that reads cognitive, physical and nutrition signals on low bandwidth — then built the institutional, government and CSR routes that make it purchasable.
Stark.ai — Mantra Group
2024 — 2025 · Chief Operating Officer
Moved mature products toward AI-native value: agents, intelligent automation and outcome-led workflows. The harder half was operational — product, sales and marketing pointed at the same buyer use cases.
LiveSmart & LocoBuzz
2016 — 2024 · Co-Founder
Built IoT consumer products and AI chatbots across Boston and Japan; raised from Mitsubishi Estate, Mitsui Sumitomo Insurance and Mizuho Capital, and shipped into markets with very different buying cultures.
Consolidated Graphics → Accenture
2006 — 2011 · Senior Director / Director
Led the roadmap that consolidated 70 group companies into shared services. Earlier at Accenture, hit 125% of the business-growth plan by designing, selling and delivering the same solutions.
Not a chatbot. A structured executive view: the real problem, the phased roadmap, the investment range and the one risk that could kill it — built from my actual operating record.
The bet: your buyer is an operations owner with a budget line, not the innovation team you have been selling to.
The real problem
You do not have a product problem. You have an unnamed buyer. Every deal reaches an enthusiastic sponsor with no budget authority, then dies at procurement because nobody owns the number the tool moves.
Root causePricing is built around usage the buyer cannot forecast, so finance treats the spend as risk rather than substitution.
Two things I'd test first
Operations leaders will pay a fixed fee to remove a named manual step.
Procurement stalls come from missing security artifacts, not price.
Phased roadmap
Name the buyer
Establish who signs, what they are measured on, and what they will pay to remove.
ArtifactA one-page buyer definition with pricing tiers and the disqualification list.
OwnerFounder or CRO — must attend the interviews personally.
ProofSix qualified conversations with a named budget holder.
Ship the reference deal
Close one paid deployment under the new pricing with a written success metric.
ArtifactA signed reference contract plus the customer-facing security pack.
OwnerHead of Sales, with engineering lead on call for security review.
ProofFirst contract signed without a pilot stage.
Make it repeatable
Prove a second and third deal close the same way, without founder heroics.
ArtifactA working sales playbook with stage gates in the CRM.
OwnerSales lead, with weekly review by the CEO.
ProofTwo deals progressing past stage two without founder involvement.

HighHow this fails
The team keeps selling to innovation sponsors because they answer fast.
Stage gate: no forecast without a named budget holder.
Fixed pricing exposes weak unit economics in delivery.

What I'd need from you
First week
If the buyer cannot be named by week four, the plan is wrong and we stop. That is the test I would hold myself to.

A model that nobody uses is a cost centre with better PR. I optimise for the workflow a real person opens on Monday morning, not the demo that impresses on Thursday.
Most transformations fail because everything starts at once. I pick the one motion that produces revenue evidence in a quarter, and let that fund the ambition behind it.
Boards do not need optimism; they need the number, the risk and the date. I would rather lose the mandate in week one than lose the year in month nine.
