Hardik Jagda
Chairman & CEO of Proximity Works, uniting global talent across design, AI, and performance engineering to ship transformative products.
Personal Note
Hardik is not just a visionary CEO — he is someone who can see the future long before the rest of us do. A developer turned CEO turned influencer, he carries a rare combination of clarity, conviction, and creativity that consistently inspires everyone around him.
Impressing someone when you meet them for the first time is easy. But when you work with someone for years and they still surprise you with ideas, direction, and vision — that is something only Hardik can do. His ability to evolve while elevating others is unmatched.
I even have a personal rule: never question his decisions. Every time I look back after a few years, his choices make perfect sense. His foresight is something I trust deeply.
Hardik gave me one of the biggest opportunities of my life — to lead Proximity Works. After more than 20+ years as an individual contributor, I became a manager for the first time under his leadership.
I'll do anything to make our team and our company successful — while keeping the team united, growing, and thriving both personally and professionally.
Hardik isn't just leading a company.
He's shaping people, careers, and futures.
