What do you love about your team, and why are you the ones to set out for this mission? As a platform designed to optimize global software delivery, we are ourselves a globally distributed team. Our top-notch global team is also fascinatingly a consumer of our own product- so our customer discovery often begins with thinking about “how can we improve our own operations”? Our leadership team and board of advisors have decades of experience in the technology industry with significant first-hand experience in leading global software delivery and managing business operations in multiple global locations. decades of experience In addition, Founder, CEO, Vik kasturi experienced the challenges in global software delivery first hand while operating his first venture Digitivy, that offered IT services to clients in North America via global software teams located in India and LATAM. CEO, Vik kasturi Vik kasturi Digitivy Looking back, what milestone was the biggest turning point for your startup? An interaction with a prospect at our first major tech conference was eye opening. Their comments around how they currently deal with challenging work-life balance due to time-zone differences when working with their offshore team and how overall productivity isn’t optimal due to all the manual follow ups and inefficiencies introduced due to the various hand-offs across global team members helped confirm our hypothesis around addressing the problem in our niche focus area- Optimizing software delivery for globally distributed teams.  Our pilot users have further shared similar challenges strengthening our belief in our solution hypothesis for Globl.ai. What’s one valuable lesson you learned this year that you’d pass on to other startups? Building a community around the problem domain/mission early on is immensely helpful. Our community Agiler.ai focuses on individuals passionate about achieving optimal global agile delivery.

We envision a future where global software delivery and global business services (GBS) will be predominantly fulfilled through a mix of Agentic AI solutions and global human talent. We are well poised to address this evolution through our platform Globl.ai which is purpose built for human-ai collaboration on a global scale. Globl.ai human-ai collaboration How do you or your company intend to embrace the responsibility of this title in 2025? We will be actively sharing our insights on venture building and trends we are witnessing in the AI/SaaS space to help our fellow founders. What goals are you looking forward to accomplishing in 2025? We are looking to build on our beta/pilot phase and add several Startups/SaaS/Service Providers who leverage globally distributed software development teams as paying customers. In addition, we anticipate building on our feature set to address requirements for enterprise user segment. 2024 has been crazy, with all the new techs, and all the geopolitics fluctuations. What are the impacts of these to your startup, and to your industry as a whole? Be as brief or as detailed as you like. Digital transformation requires access to top-technology talent. We expect the emergence of agentic ai capabilities will help enterprises do more with less. Also, we expect reduced availability of tech talent in markets such as North america due to immigration restrictions. Both trends align well with our product vision to enable seamless access to global tech talent while also providing tools to accelerate software delivery using agentic AI solutions.
