About me

Operations to Business Growth

Arun Guha - Founder

I founded O8 Growth after 25+ years spanning IT operations in global banks (HSBC, ABN AMRO), software design, development, and commercialization at Oracle, corporate venturing at SAP.iO, and entrepreneurship.

I understand deal flow, portfolio management, business growth, AND technology execution. I speak the language of investors, operators, and technologists.
