About Sri kanishka Vadakattu
Sri kanishka Vadakattu (also written Srikanishka Vadakattu) is the Founder of Spyke AI. Crunchbase lists his role there as starting in April 2025 and gives his location as Hyderabad, Telangana, India. Crunchbase's bio and his LinkedIn profile place him in Dubai.
He is a product manager by background. Crunchbase says he was Vice President of Product Management at Zed Mobility and also worked as a Senior Product Manager at OYO. His Topmate page describes him as a product management leader with more than 11 years of experience and a former AVP at toothsi. It also says he has been a product consultant for early-stage startups.
He studied Electrical, Electronics and Communications Engineering (BTech) at JNTUH College of Engineering Hyderabad. He also completed an executive program in operations management at IIM Calcutta in 2015 and 2016. Tracxn lists him as a founder of Kiranakart, a company it marks as deadpooled, and Crunchbase counts two founded companies.
Crunchbase records one personal investment, a seed round in Kiranakart, with no lead investments and no exits. Tracxn lists four angel investments, all in Indian startups. They are eBikeGo (angel round, March 2020), Gully Network (seed, November 2020), Pencil (seed, February 2021) and PumPumPum (seed, March 2021).
These were rounds with many co-investors, so the round sizes on Tracxn say nothing about his own cheque. He is also listed as an investor and advisor on the EBG Group website.
Tracxn describes his investments as concentrated in India, across sectors such as retail and enterprise applications. All of the rounds listed above were angel or seed stage. He has not publicly stated a thesis, a check size or a preferred stage. Founders should treat the portfolio as a record of past deals, not a statement of current focus. His own work is in B2C product management and early-stage startup consulting.
