Sharekh Shaikh

Founder focused on fixing fraud and quality problems in B2B research: Sharekh built CleverX to give researchers verified access to hard‑to‑reach senior professionals and to make identities and follow‑up (video calls, paid interviews) first‑class parts of the research workflow — positioning the product as a higher‑trust alternative to blind online survey panels. cleverx+2

Product & marketplace operator with a product‑centric startup approach: public interviews and podcasts emphasize product‑led design (marketplace dynamics, verified audience, survey integrations) and early focus on a verticalizable set of research use cases rather than broad horizontal targeting. kitcaster+1

International, engineering + business background that shapes his approach: he trained as a software engineer in India, later earned an MBA (SP Jain) and worked across Dubai, Singapore and EMEA before moving to the U.S.; this cross‑border product & sales experience informs CleverX’s go‑to‑market and platform design for enterprise and B2B buyers. stevepreda+2

Operator with B2B sales and advisory experience: prior roles at Gartner, Columbus Global, Sonata Software and Godrej Infotech combine enterprise research/advisory exposure (Gartner) with hands‑on regional sales and business development in EMEA/MEA — useful for building a marketplace that sells into research teams and enterprise buyers. cleverx+2
