Atul Bansal

Atul brings the hard-won perspective of a founder who has built and exited a startup in the GCC. He co-founded LivLyt, a UAE-based workforce tech and device-as-a-service platform, before its acquisition by ZenAdmin, where he subsequently led global go-to-market as Chief Business Officer. Before founding, he held roles at Careem, McKinsey, and KPMG. At FRWRDx, he mentors founders on problem validation, team structure, and pitch preparation, drawing on firsthand experience of building, scaling, and exiting a venture in the region.
