Rahul Powar
Founder & CEO at Co-op
London, England, United Kingdom
Summary
👤
SeniorRahul Powar is a founder and CEO with over a decade of experience building product-led technology companies, currently leading Red Sift, a venture-backed cognitive cybersecurity platform based in London. A seasoned technologist and entrepreneur, he previously led advanced products at Thomson Reuters after his mobile startup Apsmart was acquired, and was a founding technical architect at Shazam where he conceived and built the first featured iPhone app at the App Store launch. Comfortable both in C++ roots and modern AI-assisted coding, Rahul blends deep engineering craft with product and go-to-market instincts to deliver scalable, security-focused SaaS. He serves as an Independent Non-Executive Director at Co-op and is an active angel investor in early-stage deep tech across image processing, NLP, IoT and distributed systems. Less obvious: he has a track record of anticipating platform shifts—mobile apps and app stores, and now cognitive cybersecurity—and turning those shifts into commercial products.
