Nabyendu Mandal
Ecosystem Partnerships & Startup Programs Lead (India & South Asia), Microsoft
If there’s someone who quietly gets things done – it’s Nabyendu. You hand him a task and that’s it – it’ll just get sorted, often quicker than expected. Over the last few months, he’s been a solid pillar of support for IndustryBridge, whether it was at Caravan or Annual. From helping screen and match folks to managing things on the ground, he’s been everywhere without ever asking for the mic.
We’re lucky to have people like Nabyendu in the SaaSBoomi volunteer community, folks who show up, pitch in, and make things happen without fuss. It’s volunteers like him who bring our ideas to life, and we’re genuinely grateful for the energy and heart they bring into the mix.
Rohith Veerajappa
Chief of Staff, Humantic AI
Rohith wears many hats at SaaSBoomi and somehow makes it all look easy. By day, he’s Chief of Staff at Humantic AI. With us, he’s been a key part of SGX helping vet startups, coordinate the program, and keep things running smoothly.
He’s also been the driving force behind SaaSBoomi Compass, shaping it from idea to execution. Rohith’s the kind of person who just gets things done, asks the right questions, and always leads with a calm, thoughtful presence. Big thanks for everything you do, Ro!
Swathi Dhamodaran
Associate – Growth Equity, Trifecta Capital
Swathi Dhamodaran might be deep in the world of venture capital at Trifecta today—but around here in the community, she’s simply someone we know we can count on. At the SaaSBoomi Annual, she played a key role in leading VCBridge, helping build a meaningful fundraise platform that connected SaaS & AI founders with investors from across the globe. Swathi’s the kind of volunteer every team hopes for—meticulous, reliable, and always thinking two steps ahead. You ask once, and not only does she deliver, she quietly lifts the whole team along with her. She doesn’t chase credit, but she absolutely deserves it. Swathi, we’re lucky to have you in the community.
Sathyanarayan Viswanathan
Sr. Director, Product Management & Design, Ottimate
Beyond excelling in Product Management, Sathya Viswanathan has brought the same rigor to program management at SaaSBoomi for nearly five years—earning him the title of Volunteer of the Month for Feb ’24!
He’s been one of our strongest pillars in shaping the program and agenda for multiple marquee events, including Annual ’20, Annual ’21, and Growth ’22.
Annual ’21 was a flagship event held entirely virtually due to COVID-19 restrictions—yet it was executed flawlessly, thanks to volunteers like Sathya.
Now, he’s once again flexing his superpowers behind the scenes for the upcoming Annual ’25. His eye for detail, meticulous planning, and forward-thinking approach help us uphold the promise we make to India’s SaaS + AI ecosystem, time and again.
His dedication to fostering collaboration and growth within our community remains unwavering. Keep it coming, Sathya—we’re always rooting for you!
