Aditya Nagpal

Founder & CEO

Aditya Nagpal founded Wisemonk in 2020 after experiencing first-hand how unnecessarily hard it was for global companies to hire and manage talent in India. As a leader in fast-growing startups, he repeatedly saw strong teams delayed - not by lack of talent, but by compliance complexity, fragmented vendors, and unclear ownership.Wisemonk was built to fix exactly that.Under Aditya’s leadership, Wisemonk has grown into a trusted Employer of Record and talent partner for 300+ companies across the US, Europe, SEA, and Oceania, managing $20M+ in payroll and supporting 2,000+ employees in India. The platform is consistently rated among the top providers on G2 and is used by founders, HR leaders, and operators who want speed without cutting corners on compliance.

Aditya brings a rare mix of operator empathy and execution depth. He holds a postgraduate degree from IIM Ahmedabad and an engineering degree from BITS Pilani. Before Wisemonk, he worked closely with scaling startups, where he developed a strong point of view on global hiring, employment risk, and building durable teams across borders.His long-term vision is ambitious and simple: enable 1 million compliant cross-border jobs, starting with India as the talent backbone for global companies.

Outside work, Aditya enjoys playing badminton and spending time with his two kids, a grounding reminder of why building sustainable, long-term companies matters. Aditya Nagpal is the Founder & CEO of Wisemonk with 15+ years of experience across business consulting, strategic operations, and executive advisory. He has worked closely with global leadership teams on expanding and operating in India, with deep hands-on expertise in Indian payroll, taxation, employment compliance, and cross-border workforce structuring.
