Hitesh Joshi is a seasoned founder and engineering leader with 11 years building product-led startups and scaling technology teams across the US, UK, and India. He has led roles from CTO/CPO at fintech and lending platforms to founding AI-focused ventures like Ploton AI and PlotOnDev, translating research and R&D into production-grade products. Known for accelerating release cycles, instituting CI/CD and TDD practices, and cutting operational costs via automation, he has a track record of rapid product adoption (50k+ users on an early ZipLoan POC). Based in San Francisco, he blends hands-on engineering with strategic product leadership and unconventional growth-hacking instincts. A lesser-known strength is his history of building cross-border teams and partnerships—organizing large hackathons and incubating startups that connected the Indian ecosystem with Silicon Valley.
