Co-Founder and CEO Credencys Solutions Inc.

Executive Summary

Sandeep Agrawal is Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Credencys Solutions Inc., an enterprise data-management consultancy that specialises in product information management and master data management for retail, consumer-goods and manufacturing businesses. He built the firm with Sagar Sharma, a childhood friend from the same Ahmedabad neighbourhood who serves as Co-Founder and Chief Technology Officer. Agrawal’s most consequential decision as CEO was a deliberate narrowing: in 2018 he moved Credencys away from general digital-experience work and committed the firm to data management, a bet on the idea that enterprises with fragmented product data would pay more for a specialist than for a generalist agency. Before Credencys he was an early participant in Indian e-commerce, running the Ahmedabad-focused portals Talash.com and Ahmedabad.com at a time when online buying and selling was barely established in the country.

Career Highlights

• Co-founded Credencys Solutions Inc. with Sagar Sharma and has served as its Chief Executive Officer throughout; the company’s own account dates the founding to 2008, though third-party company registries give different years.
• Directed the firm’s 2018 repositioning from digital experience into specialist product information management and master data management consulting.
• Grew Credencys to more than 150 certified professionals, over 200 clients globally and more than 500 delivered projects, according to the company’s own reporting.
• Founded Talash.com, an online buying and selling portal, and Ahmedabad.com, helping introduce e-commerce to Ahmedabad while the sector was still nascent in India.
• Positioned Credencys to serve retail, consumer-goods and manufacturing enterprises, sectors where product data volume and complexity make master data management a board-level concern.

Professional Journey

Agrawal’s working life began in the early Indian internet. He built and ran Talash.com and Ahmedabad.com, portals that let people in and around Ahmedabad buy and sell online well before e-commerce was a mainstream Indian category. The ventures gave him an operator’s view of a market that most of the industry had not yet arrived at; Talash.com is now recorded as permanently closed.

Credencys Solutions Inc. grew out of a friendship rather than a business plan. The company’s own history describes Agrawal and Sagar Sharma as two boys from the same neighbourhood who bonded over technology around 1990, went their separate ways, and were brought back together by family circumstance, at which point they formalised the business. Agrawal took the chief executive role and Sharma the chief technology role, a division the two have maintained since. Sources disagree on exactly when the company was constituted: the company itself says 2008, while third-party registries variously record 2004 and 2012.

For its first decade Credencys operated broadly, delivering digital experiences and application work. In 2018 Agrawal narrowed the firm’s focus decisively, repositioning it around data management and, in particular, product information management and master data management. The reasoning was that enterprises in retail, consumer goods and manufacturing were accumulating product data faster than they could govern it, and that a consultancy with deep, specific expertise would command better work than a broad agency. Credencys now describes itself as a data and artificial-intelligence consultancy serving those sectors, and reports a team of more than 150 certified professionals, over 200 clients and more than 500 completed projects. Agrawal remains based in Ahmedabad, Gujarat.
