Pravek Saxena

A chess player and a cricketer by passion, I am a founder of a technology consulting firm which engineers innovative interventions to help enterprises in their journey of digital business transformation. Before becoming an entrepreneur, for most part of my career, I have been involved with IT consulting, software development, strategy, stakeholder management and end to end project deliveries, working primarily in India and the U.K. As C.E.O. Of Smalt and Beryl, my role focuses on developing long term growth strategies and formulating key partnerships with Industry, National and International agencies - both private and government. I work with a team of intelligent, sincere and visionary technocrats on various domains such as Education (Skill competitions), Conversational AI and Information technology services. Away from work, I am actively engaged in mentorship to empower youth with personalized, measured learning experiences. I am a 'Mentor of Change' (AIM) with NITI Ayog and also contribute as an advisor to various national experts to help India win medals at various International skill competitions. “Align your actions with your passion. Complement skills with talent. Let success by incidental” - Pravek
