From his early beginnings as a software engineer to his current role as a Chief Technology Officer, Nilotpal’s path has been one of relentless curiosity and purposeful leadership. His story is not just about mastering technology — it’s about shaping how technology empowers businesses, communities, and human progress.
Early Foundations: Building the Technologist
Nilotpal began his career in the early 2000s, developing enterprise software and backend systems for global organizations like Convergys India and Mascon Global. These formative years grounded him in the fundamentals of system architecture, software engineering, and client delivery — disciplines that became the bedrock of his leadership style: hands-on, methodical, and impact-oriented.
Evolving into Leadership: The Architect of Change
As his expertise deepened, so did his vision. Transitioning into roles like Project Manager, Software Development Manager, and Technology Consultant, Nilotpal began to view technology not just as code — but as a catalyst for organizational change.
At CIMSOLUTIONS (Netherlands) and AtomAP Group (Japan), he managed complex international projects in finance, ERP, and digital platforms, integrating Agile, DevOps, and cloud strategies long before they became mainstream. His ability to translate business goals into technology roadmaps earned him recognition as a bridge between innovation and execution.
Digital Transformation Leadership
Nilotpal’s defining years unfolded as he took on executive technology leadership roles. As CTO at Zero Gravity Ventures (Sindabad.com) and later Bhalogari, he led Bangladesh’s early digital commerce revolution — architecting scalable B2B/B2C platforms, ERP systems, and cloud infrastructures that served millions.
Under his leadership, Sindabad.com grew into one of the country’s foremost B2B eCommerce ecosystems, combining AI-driven insights, ERP integration, and customer-centric innovation.
His tenure was marked by strategic foresight and execution discipline — driving digital roadmaps, optimizing infrastructure costs, and mentoring engineering teams that would carry forward his philosophy of “innovation with purpose.”
Driving Social Impact Through Technology
In recent years, Nilotpal has applied his expertise toward social innovation and public good.
As CTO of Friendship (Bangladesh) and later SNEHA (India), he has been at the forefront of digital transformation in healthcare and social sectors — building technology frameworks that enhance healthcare accessibility, data intelligence, and field operations.
At SNEHA, he envisioned and executed the Synergy Connect ERP — a SaaS-based enterprise system that unites operational efficiency with data-driven insight. He also led the creation of AI-powered health solutions such as the MERA App and voice-enabled health chatbots, empowering thousands of healthcare workers and community users.
His leadership combines strategic vision, technical innovation, and a deep commitment to human-centered design, ensuring that technology truly serves the people it touches.
