Bangalore : The Times 40 Under 40 honored the achievements of young entrepreneurs, leaders, and change-makers who have made significant contributions in their respective fields. The event was held at the prestigious Hotel Four Season Embassy One in Bengaluru on March 24th, 2023.

 


Sadhika, Co-founder & COO of Lynkit, felicitated at the Times 40 Under 40 ceremony by the well-known Bollywood actress Rakul Preet Singh.
Speaking after being felicitated, Sadhika responded, " I would like to thank the Times group and the jury for selecting me for this honor. But none of this would be possible without our entire team at Lynkit who make Logistics a better place for businesses everywhere, so A big thank you to them."

Her journey in the logistics-tech industry, began as a Transportation Economist in AECOM. She rose to be one of the youngest project managers, managing multi-million dollar public and private sector infrastructure and technology projects aimed at logistics and operational efficiency.

 


Her move from Silicon Valley to New Delhi was cemented when she joined Lynkit as Co-founder and Chief Operating Officer (COO). Lynkit is a technology company with proprietary IoT-based enterprise SaaS products for supply chain and logistics management. Managing business operations, finance and compliance, Sadhika has enabled Lynkit to transition from a services-based to a product-based company it is today.

She provides invaluable insights to Lynkit's product design team to ensure products are well-suited for on-the-ground realities and financial planning experience, so businesses see real ROIs on their investments with Lynkit's digital products. She is also an international expert for the Asian Development Bank and has been consulting various governments in South Asia on their digital transformation projects.
