I care about the unglamorous parts of company building
Vandit Kunapareddi is a finance and operations leader working across strategic finance, business operations, and AI-native internal systems, with deep experience in startups and consumer businesses.
The through line
I'm interested in how small teams build operating leverage before they have the budget, headcount, or complexity for enterprise systems. My work sits between finance, operations, and software: building models, workflows, dashboards, and internal tools that help teams make better decisions with fewer manual processes.
I care about the unglamorous parts of company-building: inventory, cash flow, vendor coordination, operational visibility, and the systems that help small teams avoid chaos as they grow.
