Summary
Manish Prakash is a business-minded technology leader and founder with 13 years of experience building startups to category leaders and scaling an IT services firm to $1M annual revenue. As Head of Engineering - Tech/Product at CityMall and former CTO/CEO, he blends hands-on engineering with product strategy, execution and team building across 0-1, 1-10 and 10-100 stages. He is a core tech geek comfortable across React/Vue, Node, Go, cloud-native stacks, AI/LLMs (PyTorch, Hugging Face, Rasa) and WebRTC, and actively maintains open-source projects like recruitai and peerjs-mesh. Known as a turnaround specialist and efficiency-focused operator, he favors data-driven, fail-fast experimentation and growth-hacking to deliver measurable business value. Based in Noida and educated at IIT Guwahati, he pairs entrepreneurial grit with empathetic, hands-on leadership. A less obvious strength: he routinely bridges deep technical work and executive hiring/process design, so teams scale without losing engineering velocity.
