Shubhra Shrivastava

Founder and CEO Digiprima Technologies

Last Reviewed: September 18, 2026

Executive Summary

Shubhra Shrivastava is the founder and Chief Executive Officer of Digiprima Technologies, an IT services firm based in Indore, Madhya Pradesh, which she established in 2016. The company builds ERP, artificial intelligence, business intelligence, web and custom software systems for clients internationally, positioning itself around IT modernisation, that is, taking organisations whose systems have accumulated rather than been designed and rebuilding them coherently. Shrivastava reached this from a long enterprise career rather than from a startup background: she trained as an electrical engineer, worked at NIIT Limited both delivering software and teaching it, and spent time at HCL Technologies across the fintech and healthcare domains, where her stated concern was how to scale enterprise operations without scaling headcount in proportion. That question, which is really a question about automation and architecture, is the one Digiprima sells an answer to.

Professional Journey

Shrivastava took a Bachelor of Engineering in electrical engineering at Maulana Azad National Institute of Technology in Bhopal between 1984 and 1989, and moved into software. At NIIT Limited she worked as a software engineer and project lead and also as faculty, an unusual combination that put her on both sides of technical work, building systems and teaching others to build them. Teaching tends to produce a particular clarity about why systems fail, and her later emphasis on architecture over ad hoc delivery is consistent with it.

She then joined HCL Technologies, working across the fintech and healthcare domains. Both are sectors where software carries regulatory weight and where legacy systems are expensive to replace and dangerous to leave alone. Her stated focus during this period was on scaling enterprise operations efficiently, specifically on growing output without growing headcount proportionally, which in practice means automation, better architecture and eliminating the manual reconciliation that accumulates around ageing systems.

In 2016 she founded Digiprima Technologies in Indore. The firm delivers ERP, artificial intelligence, business intelligence, web development and custom software, and has operated for a decade under her leadership. Its positioning is around IT modernisation for businesses worldwide rather than around a single product, which reflects a services model built on the kind of problem she spent her corporate career on. She is active in Women In Technology and Google Women Techmakers, communities for women working in technology, and represents the company at international technology events including Mobile World Congress in Los Angeles and GITEX in Dubai. The Women Economic Forum, an India-based organisation not to be confused with the World Economic Forum, has profiled her as an entrepreneur working in complex IT modernisation.
