◆ Independent Tech Advisor / Auditor & Virtual CXO
Jubin Patel
Founder of NXTBYTE & Tech Buddy · Co-founder & CTO of Emgage. Jubin acts as an independent tech advisor and auditor for growing businesses, a neutral fiduciary on the technology decisions that are too costly to get wrong.
“Just as founders rely on an independent CA to audit balance sheets, spot fiscal blind spots and navigate tax compliance, growing businesses need that same objective oversight for their technology. Rather than selling software or development hours, I serve as a neutral fiduciary on decisions that are too costly to get wrong.”
About Jubin Patel
Jubin Patel is an independent technology advisor, auditor and virtual CTO/CIO based in Ahmedabad, India. Through Tech Buddy, he gives founders and leadership teams an objective view of their architecture, cloud spend, security, compliance, AI plans and vendors, without selling software or development hours.
He is the founder of NXTBYTE, an engineering company that builds IoT, embedded and industrial automation systems, and the co-founder and CTO of Emgage, a multi-tenant SaaS HRMS platform serving 400+ client companies across India, where he leads product and infrastructure engineering and manages the new-client implementation and QA teams.
