About Nikhila Nandgopal

If you need someone who can ideate, develop, and execute on a vision (and actually ship), I’m always open to connecting.I dive headfirst into problems worth solving. That approach has taken me across technology, consulting, gaming, and investment banking, from launching and scaling multi-million-dollar businesses to earning a patent in shell company detection. Currently, my work sits at the intersection of strategy, execution, and agentic AI, with a focus on turning ideas into outcomes through cross-functional delivery.I earned my MBA from the University of Chicago Booth School of Business (Class of 2025), with concentrations in Accounting, Finance, and Entrepreneurship, which sharpened how I structure problems and lead complex initiatives.I’m almost always learning something, whether that’s a developing a video game, painting Chicago’s architecture, or teaching my dog a new trick. You never quite know what you’ll get when you ask what’s up.
