About

Co-founder at SKILWI.ai, where we are building HR the other way round. Most platforms treat skills as a field on a profile. We think skills are the DNA of an organisation, so we made them the spine that every module reads from: hiring, performance, succession, workforce planning and payroll. When skills sit at the centre, a skill gap stops being a dashboard and becomes a decision with a number attached. I have watched too many mid-market companies lose real money to invisible skill gaps and guesswork succession while their people data sat scattered across a dozen disconnected tools. That frustration is why SKILWI exists. Always happy to talk workforce planning, skills taxonomies, or what a skills-based org actually looks like in practice. Say hello.

SKILWI.ai - Make skills the DNA of every people decision

SKILWI is skill-native. One skill graph of 28,000+ skills powers every module: hiring, performance management, succession, workforce planning and payroll. A skill gap stops being a dashboard and becomes a decision with a number attached. Built DPDP-native for India.
