Aseem Bakshi

Founder & CEO Webomates

Last Reviewed: September 18, 2026

Executive Summary

Aseem Bakshi is the founder and Chief Executive Officer of Webomates, a Stamford, Connecticut company providing AI-powered software testing as a service. The problem it targets is one of the most persistent bottlenecks in software delivery: regression testing. Every release requires re-verifying that existing functionality still works, the test suites that do this are expensive to build and more expensive to maintain, and they break constantly as the application changes underneath them — which is why so many teams either skip the work or ship late. Bakshi came to it with three decades in media, telecom, and finance technology behind him, an Emmy from his time at Philips, multiple patents, and a prior startup in audience analytics.

Career Highlights

• Founded Webomates and built it into a patented AI-based Testing-as-a-Service platform, including automated test-case generation, execution, and maintenance branded as AiHealing.
• Won an Emmy Award for Advancement of TV Technology during his tenure at Philips Electronics.
• Named inventor on multiple US patents assigned to SeaChange International and IPC Systems.
• Served as General Manager of SeaChange International’s advertising division, with P&L responsibility for a business of roughly $60 million.
• Won enterprise customers including Equifax, Rackspace, and Priceline.
• Co-founded Psychability, a media audience-analytics company, and co-founded Webomates with Ruchika Gupta, its COO.

Professional Journey

Bakshi began his career at Philips Electronics in the mid-1990s, spending roughly seven years there in engineering roles and earning an Emmy Award for Advancement of TV Technology. He moved into technical leadership at IPC Systems, which builds the specialized communications technology used on trading floors, and then to SeaChange International, a media and video delivery technology company.

At SeaChange his role broadened from engineering into commercial leadership. He worked across engineering and product management turnarounds before becoming General Manager of the company’s advertising division, where he carried profit-and-loss responsibility for a business of roughly $60 million. That progression — from engineer, through product, to running a P&L — is what distinguishes his later work as a founder, and across both SeaChange and IPC Systems he was named as an inventor on multiple US patents.

He then co-founded Psychability, a media audience-analytics company applying big-data and data-science methods to audience insight, before starting Webomates as his second venture around 2015.

The thesis behind Webomates is that testing is the part of the software lifecycle that automation has most conspicuously failed to fix. Test automation has existed for decades, but the scripts are themselves software: they must be written, maintained, and repaired every time the application’s interface shifts, and the maintenance burden frequently exceeds the effort saved. Teams respond by testing less, which moves the defects into production. Webomates addresses this by generating test cases and executing them as a service, with an AiHealing capability that repairs tests when the application changes rather than requiring an engineer to rewrite them — attacking maintenance cost rather than only execution speed. The platform is patented and has been adopted by enterprise customers including Equifax, Rackspace, and Priceline. He co-founded the company with Ruchika Gupta, who serves as its Chief Operating Officer.
