About us.
Sirius was founded by Savitar Jagtiani, an entrepreneur, intrapreneur and product guy with a lifelong love for product design.
Always hands-on, Savitar has built product from the ground up by working shoulder-to-shoulder with exceptional talent from startups in the travel, fashion and fintech spaces as well as from industry-leading organizations in the retail and financial services sectors.
A particularly fond memory: from 2009-2018, Savitar led the omnichannel and digital transformation journey for the $6B Landmark Group where as CDO he grew the digital team from 0 to ~500, took 11 leading retail brands online in 4 countries, led product for 250+ innovations and drove online sales from 0-$100M in 5.5 years.
A Bombay native and Dubai local, Savitar graduated from Stanford University’s Executive Program in 2022 and has a Bachelors degree in Information Systems from Drake University.
Savitar is husband to a beautiful wife, father to three adorable sons, a PADI Advanced diver, Trinity certified pianist, avid photographer, lifelong gamer, IRONMAN swimmer and aspiring triathlete who overcame spinal damage and heart disease.
