About Gautam Kshatriya
Senior Director leading Defense Advisory at AI71, partnering with senior leadership to architect and execute large-scale transformation strategies. With a career built at the intersection of strategic advisory and hands-on entrepreneurship, I bridge the gap between high-level vision and operational scale. Prior to AI71, I was the Co-founder and CEO of Upscalio, where I raised $60MM+ and scaled the business to $25MM+ in revenue. My foundation in global strategy was laid at McKinsey & Company, where I advised CEOs and Boards on growth and major transformations.
