✦ THE FOUNDING TEAM

Four Founders. One Vision.

Domain expertise. Technical depth. Enterprise execution. Commercial instinct. Rarely combined in one founding team.

Rahul Singla

COO & Co-Founder

Cur8r's domain core. Worked as a specialized trainee for a government PSU in construction consultancy and contracting, where he saw first hand how India's massive govt. procurement machinery operated via fragmented mediums, and lacking a single unified intelligence layer - Rahul doesn't just study the procurement system - He has operated inside it. The institutional knowledge he brings cannot be researched, hired, or replicated. It has to be lived.

Ekagra Agrawal

CBO & Co-Founder

The rare CS engineer who thinks like a CFO. Ekagra was dissecting DCF models and unit economics long before writing his first line of production code. Graduated from the prestigious IIM Udaipur's Summer Program in Management, his commercial instincts are matched by serious AI credentials, prompt engineering at a London-based AI venture and LLM evaluation consulting for Google DeepMind via Turing. At Cur8r, he sits at the exact intersection Cur8r needs most: procurement intelligence meets enterprise go-to-market. The bridge that converts TenderSmart from a product into a revenue engine.

✦ OUR STORY

We don't just curate opportunities.We engineer them.

Four childhood friends.
Eighteen years. The right skills. The right moment.

Cur8r brings together enterprise AI engineering, institutional procurement expertise, financial systems architecture, and commercial strategy — in a founding team that has known and trusted each other for nearly two decades.

✦ HOW WE STARTED

Four Friends.
One Conversation.
One Inevitable Conclusion.

Ayush had spent years building enterprise AI systems for large-scale industrial operations in the US — and returned to India carrying months of agentic AI experience and deep technical proficiency.

Rahul was working for a government PSU in construction consultancy, as a specialized trainee — watching procurement fail contractors daily from within the system itself.

Harshit had engineered mission-critical infrastructure at Goldman Sachs and Boeing. He knew what enterprise-grade actually meant.

Ekagra brought the commercial lens — IIM-trained instincts, AI consulting for Google DeepMind via Turing, and a rare ability to translate product capability into revenue architecture.

Started working on a multi agent WMS SaaS for large scale manufacturers before the inception of Cur8r's idea. Then, At the AI India Summit in New Delhi, the four of us sat across from contractor after contractor, surprisingly all of them describing the same broken, manual, expensive process. The procurement, and bidding lifecycle.

The domain knowledge and infrastructure was ready.
The team was ready.
Cur8r was inevitable.

✦ WHAT WE BELIEVE

The Principles We Build By.

Domain First

Every decision starts with what contractors actually need. Not what looks good in a demo.

Trust by Design

Our clients upload their most sensitive documents to Cur8r. Zero-knowledge architecture. Private servers. Highest security and encryption. Privacy is Non-negotiable.

Speed is Respect

Every hour saved on manual bid work is an hour a contractor spends growing their business. We build accordingly.

Built in India, For the world

Not adapted for India. Built for India — every portal, every NIT format, every compliance rule — from the ground up.
