About

I'm Darshana Munde Navagare, currently serving as the Director of Product Engineering and Management at EvoluteIQ and Co-Founder of TAMA, an AI-powered influencer marketing platform. My career has been defined by building and scaling high-scale technology platforms across AdTech, Web3, and AI. From architecting proprietary ad engines to leading global teams of over 200 engineers and securing $10M+ in Series A funding, I focus on bridging the gap between technical innovation and business scalability. I am deeply passionate about infrastructure efficiency—specifically helping companies leverage existing platforms to focus on their core consumer value. Whether it's discussing the deployment of dApps or the evolution of programmatic advertising, I enjoy connecting with developers and brands to drive the next wave of digital transformation. I’m here to offer strategic insights into technology growth and explore partnerships that push the boundaries of what's possible in the AI and Web3 space.
