Aspiring Changemaker

About Me
I’m Layak Singh, a technology entrepreneur, passionate writer, and avid runner. My journey into the world of startups began during my time at IIT Kharagpur, where I balanced academics with my entrepreneurial ambitions. I’ve always believed in the power of technology to solve real-world challenges, which drove me to start multiple ventures during and after my college years.
​
While still a student, I founded iwanttutor and eStudyCorner, platforms focused on connecting students with qualified tutors for personalized online education. These ventures later grew into Fullerene Solutions and Services Pvt Ltd, where we built innovative educational solutions. During this period, I also collaborated with Edudigm, refining my skills in business strategy and scaling operations in the education sector.
With a knack for exploring new markets, I launched DateIITians, a unique dating platform for IIT and IIM alumni, which eventually evolved into Cogxio, a hyperlocal social discovery and dating platform. These ventures were a deep dive into the world of user engagement, digital product development, and scaling tech-driven platforms.
My focus eventually shifted towards leveraging AI and technology to transform industries. This led to the founding of Artivatic.ai, where I am currently building AI/GenAI-powered solutions to revolutionize the insurance and healthcare sectors. At Artivatic, we aim to bring efficiency, automation, and personalization to traditionally complex processes, driving better outcomes for our clients.
Beyond building businesses, I’m a writer at heart. I love expressing my thoughts on technology, AI, startups, travel, and research through platforms like Medium and LinkedIn. Writing allows me to share my journey, insights, and lessons learned along the way, inspiring others in their entrepreneurial paths.
When I’m not working on startups or writing, you’ll find me running to clear my mind or playing a game of badminton. Staying active helps me balance the demands of business while keeping me focused and energized. Today, I’m on a mission to scale Artivatic.ai globally, leveraging my skills in business strategy, AI technology, team building, and beyond—all while staying true to my passions for writing and staying fit.
Satrtups & Entrepreneurial Experience
2022 - Today
After Artivatic’s acquisition by RenewBuy in 2022, I've focused on transitioning it to a SaaS-based model with an emphasis on AI/GenAI solutions. I'm also driving our international expansion and advising the leadership team to align strategies for sustained innovation in insurtech and health tech.
2018 - 2022
From 2018 to 2022, I built Artivatic.ai into a leading AI platform revolutionizing insurance and healthcare by streamlining underwriting, claims, and risk assessment. Leveraging AI/GenAI technologies, I scaled the company to become a key player in the insurtech space, focusing on efficiency and customer-centric solutions.
2014 - 2018
From 2014 to 2018, I built ventures in dating, lifestyle, and education, including Cogxio and LiveOnGo. In 2016-17, I pivoted from Cogxio to focus on creating an AI-driven product recommendation tool. This journey led to the launch of Artivatic.ai, specializing in AI solutions for insurance and healthcare.
2011 - 2014
From 2011 to 2014, I built education platforms like iwanttutor and eStudyCorner, expanding from India to the USA and Europe. I also worked with Edudigm for about 10 months in Kolkata. Operating from my hometown Agra, I grew the business to $500K in annual revenue with a core team and 500+ remote teaching and writing experts.
Before 2011
Before 2011, while at IIT Kharagpur, I explored interests beyond my core studies, including finance and genetics. I started my entrepreneurial journey in my second year, working with Edudigm and launching a research writing startup, using these ventures to fund my own education.
