Leadership
Behind every engineering decision, every client engagement, and every line of code we ship is a small group of people who care deeply about the standard of work that goes out under our name. These are the founders, executives, and advisors who set that standard — and hold the rest of us to it.
Co-founders
Combined years of experience
Continents covered
Enterprise clients steered
Operations, partnerships, and the bridge between strategy and delivery.
Kamal co-founded TrueLeaf Tech with a clear conviction: that great software companies are built as much through the discipline of operations as through the brilliance of engineering. As Chief Operating Officer, he owns the commercial relationships, financial structure, and the operational backbone that let our engineering teams focus on what they do best.
His remit spans every meaningful client partnership the company holds — from enterprise engagements with retailers and manufacturers in India to ongoing relationships with US and UAE founders building new products. He's the person ensuring that work scales sustainably, that engagements are structured for long-term mutual success rather than short-term wins, and that the studio behaves like a partner rather than a vendor.
Within the founding team, Kamal is the operator's operator: clear-headed about the trade-offs, unwilling to let process get in the way of outcomes, and deeply committed to the long-term reputation of the firm.
Sets the engineering bar, then helps the team clear it.
As Chief Technology Officer, Manusree owns the technical direction of TrueLeaf Tech. She defines the engineering standards every team works to, leads architectural decisions on our most complex client engagements, and ensures the technology choices we make today won't quietly become tomorrow's regrets.
What sets Manusree apart from many CTOs is that she's still in the code. Her hands-on involvement in engineering work — particularly across the front-end and full-stack systems we've built for retail and marketplace clients — gives her a perspective that's increasingly rare at executive levels: she doesn't just direct engineering, she practises it. Every architectural decision she makes is informed by what it actually feels like to maintain the system afterwards.
Within the studio, she's the technical conscience. The person who pushes back when a quick fix would compound into long-term debt, and the one who recognises when the team is over-engineering and gently steers them back to "what's the smallest thing that solves this well."
Strategic advisor
Building a studio is a long game. The people we lean on for strategic counsel — those who've seen what works and what doesn't from outside the day-to-day — shape our thinking in ways that compound over years.
The voice in the room that's already seen this movie.
Matt advises TrueLeaf Tech on strategic positioning, growth, and the kind of senior product thinking that distinguishes an indispensable engineering studio from a merely competent one. His outside perspective is one of the most valuable inputs the founding team has access to — precisely because he's not inside the day-to-day, he can see the patterns we sometimes miss.
His role isn't operational; it's directional. He helps us think clearly about which client engagements to take on and which to walk away from, where we're under-investing, and what the next phase of growth should actually look like. The questions he asks tend to be the questions we should have been asking ourselves.
Having a senior advisor of Matt's calibre is part of what allows the founding team to make calmer, longer-horizon decisions than we otherwise would.
Beyond leadership
Leadership sets the bar, but it's the engineers, designers, and operators across our offices in Dubai, Seattle, and West Bengal who ship the work every day. They're the reason our partners stay with us for years rather than projects.
Let's build
Whether you're scaling an established product or testing a hypothesis, we'd be glad to spend a half-hour helping you think through the next step.
