Arpit Maheshwari is the Co-Founder and CEO of Atlas, an AI-first operating system for independent accounting firms that embeds machine learning across core workflows including bookkeeping, audit preparation, and client communications.

An IIT Delhi and IIM Ahmedabad alumnus, Arpit began his career with a 3-year stint at BCG before taking on product and strategy roles at CarDekho and iProf, and leading corporate innovation at Arvind Limited.

Arpit brings a rare combination of operator depth and investor acuity, having served as Principal and VP at Stellaris Venture Partners where he led early-stage AI software investments across India's startup ecosystem.

At Atlas, Arpit is building AI agents that act as specialized junior accountants, enabling independent firms to scale revenue and margins without adding headcount, targeting a $150 billion US accounting market.

Atlas raised a $6M seed round co-led by Accel and Stellaris, and early deployments have already delivered over 5x efficiency gains on targeted workflows within three months of onboarding.
