Summary
Krish Padda is a seasoned engineering leader and founder with 12 years of hands-on full-stack experience, currently serving as SVP of Engineering and founder of NexaDB, an AI-first database that outperforms MongoDB, PostgreSQL and Cassandra on YCSB retrieval benchmarks at million-record scale. He combines rapid prototyping muscle—building multiple MVPs and entire modules in days or even hours—with enterprise-grade delivery, having scaled teams and systems at BharatPe and Blinkit and led successful AI and fintech initiatives. A pragmatic builder who still codes across frontend, backend, mobile and cloud, he’s repeatedly translated audacious ideas into production: from a global healthcare search engine and AI doctor pipelines to a multi-national wallet in a weekend. He’s equally at home optimizing infra and CI/CD for 12x faster deployments as he is inventing new product primitives like dynamic AA-based credit scoring. Known for hiring and shaping highly productive teams, Krish pairs fast execution with a knack for stepping back when strategy demands, evidenced by returning a term sheet after re-evaluating regulatory risks. Based in Bengaluru, he blends unconventional curiosity—space tech and brain-chip ambitions—with disciplined delivery and a track record of shipping wild, battle-tested systems.
