Background

About Atishay Kumar

I am an award winning executive technical leader with 15 years of experience. Key highlights of my career include 6 years at Microsoft (Redmond, WA) building features for Windows and Outlook followed by 5 years as the founding member, CTO & CPO of a fintech startup where I built the tech platform from scratch and took the company from zero to 200M USD in revenue. I enjoy building scalable, robust solutions to achieve business goals and possess a strong ability to learn. I also serve on advisory board of two startups. I am authorized to work in USA and India. I am also recipient of the prestigious Erasmus Mundus Scholarship program in Network and e Business Centred Computing (given by the European Union). Was one of the 30 students selected worldwide and one of 2 from India for this program. I volunteer for social causes from time to time. I am active meditator (Vipassana). Following are the key thoughts that I try to imbibe in my personal and work life: Sell your cleverness and buy bewilderment - Rumi Fortune favors the prepared mind - Louis Pasteur If you love life, don’t waste time, for time is what life is made up of – Bruce Lee You can never win or lose if you don't run the race - Hal WhiteSide The capacity to learn is a gift. The ability to learn is a skill. The willingness to learn is a choice - Brian Herbert Learn from yesterday, live for today, hope for tomorrow. The important thing is not to stop questioning - Albert Einstein The quest to find the truth is useful only if you are going to act on it - Bruce Lee (supposedly, not sure)
