Operator · Founder · Dubai
Hi, I'm Sahil. I build companies and the people who run them.
I am the founder of Stratos Technologies. I train young forward-deployed engineers, deploy them into companies to put AI to work, and run an in-house game studio that proves the model ships. Ten-plus years across monetization, partnerships, and GTM sit behind all of it.
Stratos Technologies FZCO
Founder · Dubai, UAE
Startups I've powered
Indus OS acquired by PhonePe ($60M+) · MAF's MyChips acquired by Mistplay · Audiomob backed at Series A
The ecosystem
One umbrella. Three ventures that feed each other.
Stratos Technologies FZCO owns and operates all three. StepAhead trains the talent, Stratos Tech Academy deploys it into companies, and Stratos Games proves the model in the open.
Training ground
The student and professional training ground for AI enablement. Where people learn to build with AI and graduate as forward-deployed engineers, ready to put it to work.
