​​

Retrospective:

RAJ'S career spans over three decades, marked by challenges that have only strengthened his resolve. Every scar has become a badge of experience, shaping him into a leader with conviction, resilience, and a fearless attitude to make things work without compromise.He has successfully led multiple startups and multimillion-dollar initiatives for Fortune 100 companies.

He was not handed a rope for how big his vision was , so he created the rope - Mallawa Ventures. 

​​​

Doer's Code:

A restless ambition, that would never erode under the weight of risk. He works like a human clock: every minute of the hour, every hour of day and every day of the week, over meals, nights past 12 AM, no notification overlooked, whether  from an executive or an intern. 

​​​

Perspective:

Much like his love for driving a stick shift—whether as a teenager or now in his sports car—he believes in shifting gears with agility. When outcomes don’t align with expectations, he adapts, recalibrates, and accelerates forward, always focused on results without leakage.​​

​​​​

Track Record:

From early on, Raj aspired to work with the “Big Three” tech giants—Microsoft, IBM, and Oracle. In the 2000s, that vision became reality when he left Nomura Securities to join IBM Global Services in Charlotte, contributing to a metadata project for Enron. Later, he advanced to Microsoft as a Business Architect, where he played a pivotal role in venture integration for several multibillion-dollar acquisitions, including Yammer and LinkedIn

​​

Why? 

If you ever catch him to ask "Why?"

You may find an ambition for himself, but importantly a pause and an intention to swing the rope he weaved to the grit of other entrepreneurs. 

​

'Mallawa began with a simple truth:

Building something new is hard. I knew it firsthand — the late nights, the near misses, the thrill of seeing an idea finally work.

​

That struggle is why Mallawa exists'
