Our Team
We come from different places, but we care about the same things: work that matters, design that makes sense, and relationships that are real.
Rajesh Navaneetham
Founder & CEO
Rajesh believes Agile can unlock human potential and deliver serious business outcomes… when it’s done right. As part of the leadership team that led Agile adoption at Dell, he also learned how not to do it. Agile without culture, he discovered, creates more pain than progress.
Today, he helps organizations, especially outside traditional IT, use Agile to build transparency, ownership, and trust. Watching teams grow happier, more accountable, and more effective gives him disproportionate joy
Outside Simpliwising, Rajesh mentors Gen Z founders of social enterprises at NSRCEL, IIM Bangalore, and is deeply committed to animal welfare, an interest sparked by his blind dog, Poppins, who opened his eyes to their world. Yes, the irony is not lost on him.
Harini Sreenivasan
Founder Partner, People & Culture
Harini helps leaders build organizations where people do their best work because they want to, not because they’re told to (HUGE difference!). Working at the intersection of leadership alignment, people development, and organization design, she focuses on the everyday ways of working where strategy quietly succeeds or fails.
She helps organizations replace control with clarity, fear with psychological safety, and compliance with commitment, building cultures that are both humane and high-performing. Her guiding belief: when people are treated like adults, they behave like adults. (The wisest ideas often are the simplest, check our name again.)
When she’s not working with leadership teams, Harini is writing, presenting at conferences, or walking amidst nature, where her clearest thinking tends to show up uninvited, but right on time.
Ravi Krishnamurthy
Founder Partner, Operations
Ravi begins from trust. Always. He believes most people come to work with honest intent and tend to do their best when treated with respect, clarity, and responsibility. That belief shapes how he builds relationships and delivers outcomes, quietly, without theatre.
He values sincerity over spin and prefers steady progress to dramatic transformation. His work focuses on creating conditions where people don’t need to be watched to do the right thing.
Outside work, Ravi runs, reads, and takes an annual trek to the Himalayas. He’s most at ease in small groups, over good coffee and thoughtful conversation, making change one project, and one conversation, at a time.
Shyam Bhaskaran
Partner
Shyam believes most people are capable and well-intentioned. Fix the environment, and performance follows.
It is no surprise then that Shyam helps build organizations where work gets done (turns out that is a Ninja move!). Having worked across engineering, sales, partnerships, and delivery at Microsoft and Wipro, he removes friction that turns simple work into drama.
He is also known to dismantle silos, and yes, cook a mean meal while doing it.
