Hi, I’m Sankaranand Balaradjou — a tech explorer, digital product craftsman, and community builder based in Puducherry, India.
Your own Self-Realization is the greatest service you can render the world – Ramana Maharshi
I earned my B. Tech in Information Technology from Pondicherry University (2010), but my journey with computers started way back in 2000. What began as curiosity turned into a 25-year love affair with technology, shaping a global career that spans software development, project management, and digital product leadership.
Over the last 15+ years, I’ve worked with teams and clients across the USA, UK, Europe, and Singapore—serving both product and service companies. Whether as a Scrum Master or Product Owner, I specialise in taking ideas from spark to scale—ensuring products are delivered with precision, agility, and impact.
In 2019, the solitude of remote work nudged me toward something bigger—I founded Pulsebay Coworking in my dad’s old house. What started small now spans 50,000+ sq. ft. and 800+ seats, making Pulsebay one of the largest coworking ecosystems in Pondicherry.
In 2024, I co-founded Willdoo Education, an edtech startup that’s reimagining how students learn future skills like AI, financial literacy, and sustainability. We conduct engaging workshops in schools and colleges, and partner with organisations to run immersive design thinking bootcamps that empower teams to solve their own challenges over 3–6 month sprints.
Beyond business, I’m deeply committed to social impact. As an active Executive Member of CII’s Young Indians (Yi) since 2021, I’ve led initiatives as Innovation Chair and Thalir (School) Chair, working toward shaping a more empowered and future-ready generation.
I also dabble in community building—co-running Foodicta for fellow foodies, serving as Secretary of Startup Pondy, and exploring everything from AI to aliens, sci-fi to space tech.
Whether it’s launching a product, designing a learning journey, or setting up a collaborative space, I live for turning ideas into action.
