An engineering graduate from IIT Kharagpur, Shashwat began his career at HSBC Bank
during the 2008 mortgage crisis: an experience that sharpened his understanding of
systemic inefficiencies in enterprise operations.

He later led international expansion at OYO Rooms, working across global markets to streamline vendor onboarding, lease negotiations, and legal compliance. Here, he witnessed the fragmented nature of contracting processes.

Shashwat co-founded Provakil to address these challenges at scale, enabling enterprises worldwide to adopt smarter, AI-powered contract management systems that prioritize speed, clarity, and control.
