Meet Our Team

Jay Pipaliya is the Founder and CEO of JK Tech Hub, a Rajkot-based software development company he started in 2018 with the simple belief that small and mid-sized Indian businesses deserve the same quality of software that Mumbai and Bangalore agencies sell at three times the price. Over the last eight years he has personally led the design, scoping or delivery of more than 150 software projects for over 120 clients — covering manufacturing ERPs for jewellery and railing exporters, mobile apps used by hundreds of retail stores across Gujarat, attendance and payroll systems that replaced manual registers in factories, and SEO-led marketing websites that today drive the bulk of new enquiries for several BSE-listed manufacturers. Before founding the company, Jay spent his early career working with a small group of developers in Rajkot building outsourced web projects, where he saw first-hand how often clients in Tier-2 cities were either over-charged by metro agencies or under-served by freelancers who disappeared after delivery. JK Tech Hub was his answer to that gap: a small, senior, accountable team that delivers metro-grade work at Rajkot rates, gives source code to clients, and stays around for the messy first three months after launch. Today he splits his time between sales conversations with founders and factory owners, hands-on architecture reviews on the team's harder projects, SEO and content strategy for both the company's own website and client portfolios, and mentoring younger developers who join the team. His written work on software cost guides, SEO for Indian manufacturers, and the realities of Tier-2 city outsourcing is read across the company blog and reposted regularly by the developer community in Gujarat. He is a frequent panelist at local business forums in Rajkot on topics around digital transformation, software pricing, and how export-focused SMEs can win on Google and AI search. Jay is based in Rajkot, holds a degree in Computer Engineering, and is publicly identifiable on Wikidata (Q138849705), LinkedIn, and X (formerly Twitter). He prefers founder-to-founder calls over sales decks, writes most of the company's case studies himself, and can usually tell within ten minutes of a discovery call whether JK Tech Hub is the right fit for a given project — and is unusually comfortable saying when it is not.

Parag Dobariya is the CTO of JK Tech Hub and the engineer most clients meet on the second call — the one who turns a sales conversation into a working architecture diagram. With more than six years of hands-on experience across mobile, web and cloud, Parag leads the engineering team in Rajkot and is responsible for system design, code quality, deployment, and the technology choices behind every project the company ships. His background is unusually balanced for a CTO at a small studio: he writes production code most weeks, runs code review on every meaningful pull request, and personally owns the AWS and Docker infrastructure that hosts client deployments. On the mobile side, Parag has shipped React Native and Flutter applications for retailers, exporters, factory floors and service businesses — including the engineering for PhonsBook and the field-attendance modules used inside several manufacturing clients. On the backend he works primarily in Node.js with PostgreSQL and MongoDB, and has built or rewritten the API layer for most of the company's longer-running ERP and SaaS engagements. He is the team's de facto on-call engineer for any production incident, and his fingerprints are on every CI/CD pipeline the team uses today. Inside the team he is known for two things: an unusually patient code-review style with juniors, and a strong opinion that boring, well-understood technology beats novelty for SME clients who will live with this codebase for the next five years. Parag holds an engineering degree, is based full-time in Rajkot, and is reachable through the JK Tech Hub LinkedIn page. He occasionally writes on the company blog about React Native architecture, Flutter performance, and pragmatic AWS setups for small teams.
