About

One problem, three angles

Since 2018 I’ve worked on one problem from different angles. How do the right talent and the right opportunities find each other with more accuracy, more trust and less wasted effort?

That question led me to build three things. datavruti helps companies hire data, AI and analytics talent. estana helps recruitment agencies do that work at scale. graph helps data, AI and analytics professionals show what they’ve actually done.

They solve different problems, but they rest on the same belief. Better information makes better hiring decisions. Whether it’s a company hiring, a recruiter trying to scale, or a professional trying to represent themselves accurately, the goal is the same.

What I’m building

Three ideas, one belief

How I got here

Eight years on one problem

From an HR tech start, through a near-collapse, to three products built on the same idea.

  1. 2018

    Multplyr

    I came from a tech background and started Multplyr, an HR tech business.

  2. 2021

    Into recruitment

    Ravi Vyas and I moved into recruitment services. A few people trusted us with their hiring. One client became two, then three.

  3. 2023

    All in, then a setback

    We went all in on technology hiring. It grew the business. Then two of our largest clients left as hiring froze, and close to 80% of the business went with them.

  4. 2024

    datavruti

    We rebranded as datavruti and kept rebuilding with more clients and more services. Getting back took more than two years.

  5. Now

    Three products

    Building on datavruti with estana and graph, so the same idea reaches companies, agencies and professionals.

What I believe

Ideas I keep coming back to

Better information makes better hiring decisions.
Companies, recruiters and professionals all decide better when the context and evidence behind the work are visible.
Specialist hiring needs specialist understanding.
That's why datavruti only hires for data, AI and analytics.
Each stage of a business needs a different answer.
Survival, growth and resilience call for different decisions. None of them is right forever.
Revenue is the starting point, not the answer.
Net fee income tells me what the business is really earning.
Manage by outcomes, then understand them.
Separate what a recruiter controls, influences and can't control, and coach from there.
