Swaroop Vijayakumar

Can’t sleep on Swaroop Vijayakumar, this guy’s the real deal in the startup world. He’s the co-founder and CEO of Fieldproxy, a sick SaaS platform that’s basically changing how field teams work. Think no-code tools for managing teams on the ground, so if you’ve got a bunch of folks out in the field, Swaroop’s making it way easier for businesses to build their own mobile apps in minutes. No bullshit, just jump right into it.

Swaroop kicked this off back in 2020 with his buddy Balakrishna Balasubramanian. They jumped into the Y Combinator Winter ’22 batch, that’s some serious cred, showing he’s got the hustle and vision to compete with the best. The company’s based outta Chennai but has caught the eye of global investors and VCs, so he’s definitely doing something right.

Now, here’s the kicker: Swaroop’s not just some guy who threw up a startup. Before all this, he ran a product development agency, building internal apps for a crazy variety of sectors, consumer goods, mining, telecom, pharma, energy. Basically, he’s been in the trenches, building shit that actually works for big industries. That’s where his real motivation comes from, understanding what’s needed on the ground and building tools to fix those pain points.

He’s also got an MBA from IIM Kozhikode, which means he’s got the business smarts to back up his tech skills. But honestly, what’s impressive is how he’s taken his experience and turned it into Fieldproxy, a platform that’s empowering massive deskless workforces to do their jobs faster, better, and more efficiently.

Swaroop’s process shows he’s all about solving real problems, not just chasing hype. He’s someone who’s been in the field, seen the bullshit, and now he’s building tools for people who need it most. That’s the kind of founder who’s gonna crush it long-term, not just for the money, but because he genuinely cares about making work easier for millions. No cap.
