“With Relata, we have accelerated real estate conversions by 42% on an average and the response has been amazing.”

Samudragupta Talukdar
(Founder & CEO, Relata)

Driving the purpose with passion, Samudragupta Talukdar is a new-age techpreneur who is an explorer and a problem solver. A passion-driven engineer who entered the corporate space to learn the ways of this world. After honing his skills as an engineer, he has set foot in the business landscape to gain industry experience.

Associated with many reputed companies, Samudragupta learnt a lot about sales and relationships and how it all comes together to build a successful business. Reaping these learning experiences, the entrepreneur in him came to the surface. He adds, “I liked the idea of understanding the intricacies of a problem, applying critical thinking and coming up with solutions”.

“The first startup I incepted failed. At that very moment, I had two options- either to go back and start doing a job or pursue your dreams for the second time. I bounced back and started my second startup with just 5000 bucks in my pocket,” Talukdar says while recalling the struggling days.

Harnessing his passion for problem-solving and the deep experience of running a business, Samudragupta laid the foundation of Relata (Cognilements Pvt. Ltd.) in 2019. His amazing learning curve and the in-hand experience of running a business help the company to stand among the top proptech startups.

Talukdar follows a simple leadership philosophy. He trusts the people he works with and informs them how they are going to contribute towards the vision. “I focus on whether my decision is adding value to the ecosystem, if it is not then I relook into my thought process. I always try to make sure that my decision benefits the ecosystem,” asserts the CEO.
