Summary
Smruti Parida is a serial founder and technology executive with 12+ years of hands-on engineering and product leadership, currently CEO of Finguine and Keacyte, building AI-driven compliance and AML solutions used by banks and life-science companies across multiple continents. She has repeatedly transformed traditional services into scalable digital products—from email systems and search features at Microsoft and United Online to co-founding NestAway, which grew to 50,000+ tenants and raised over $100M. Equally comfortable as a full-stack engineer and a CEO, she combines deep experience in data, automation and applied AI with a knack for assembling high-performing teams. An Economics Times Startup of the Year awardee and Fortune 40 Under 40 alumnus, she blends technical rigor with entrepreneurial grit and a track record of shipping mission-critical systems across regulated industries. A detail that often surprises collaborators: alongside strategic leadership she remains actively involved in product-level engineering and deployments, including large-scale FATCA-CRS automation covering 112 countries.
