Bhavesh Tolia joins Auquan as a Product Engineer at a specific moment in the company's development. We've proven that agentic AI can complete real finance workflows end to end. The work now is building the infrastructure that makes that repeatable at scale.

Background

Bhavesh started at Microsoft, then spent his career in founding and early-stage roles across five companies. He was a founding engineer at Alltius building AI chatbots, then CEO and CTO at Optexity. He served as CTO at a YC-backed fintech focused on banking workflows.

He's built systems from scratch, shipped them under pressure, and thought hard about how to make them last.

At Auquan

Bhavesh will focus on turning one-off features into robust, reusable components. In practice: building the abstractions and integration patterns that let new capabilities plug in cleanly, so customers can deploy agents across credit, ESG, and reporting without starting from scratch each time.

The firms using Auquan aren't running one workflow. They're running many, across teams, with different data environments and different requirements. That's the engineering challenge Bhavesh is here to solve.

Outside work

When he's not building, Bhavesh reads Murakami, watches anime, plays badminton, lifts weights, and is probably already prototyping his next product idea.

Welcome to the team, Bhavesh.
