Sukhbir is our CEO. He is the brain behind the heuristic learning search algorithm used by the benipal shopping search engine and envisaged the social e-commerce platform we are currently developing.

He is in technology due to an epiphany, caused partly by sufficient quantities of argentinian wine on a cold winter night in New York. Having infamously flunked his M.A Economics exam, Sukhbir went on to run a Commercial Real Estate Finance company where he helped arrange over $ 1 Billion in financing for different Hotels and Office Buildings.

Sukhbir is responsible for code deployment across platforms and maintains our Hadoop / HBase and Terracotta clusters at our Bangalore and U.S datacenters.

He enjoys driving in the upper Himalayan ranges and likes building CentOS servers, having built his first one from scratch in two hours after reading an online how-to. Knows nothing about writing code and has an opinion on pretty much everything.
