The Profile

About Mayur Patil

Mayur Patil is a young Indian entrepreneur and Co-Founder of Forem Innovations Private Limited, a global software and technology company headquartered in Hubli, Karnataka, India, with a UK branch in London. He serves as Director, Management (India) & Managing Director (UK).

A new-generation leader with an uncommonly long executive track record, Mayur has been at the helm of ambitious ventures since just 15 years old, when he took charge as Chief Operating Officer of Quality Metal Works. Over the two decades since, he has emerged as a driving force across operations and technology — channelling that experience into scaling Forem Innovations as a global, cross-border technology partner.

As Director, Management (India) & Managing Director (UK), Mayur oversees business operations, financial management, institutional sales, GeM procurement, government tenders, startup funding proposals, and grant management and reporting.

Mayur also leads Forem Innovations Private Limited's international expansion strategy, drives technology direction, and oversees a portfolio that spans custom software development, mobile apps, cloud architecture, artificial intelligence, and SaaS products. Under his leadership Forem Innovations has launched the Forem Suite — a collection of privacy-first apps with no ads, no tracking, offline support, and 20+ Indian-language coverage — and CyberPolicyPilot, an AI-powered cybersecurity compliance platform covering 18 global frameworks.

Operating from both London and Hubli, Mayur represents a new generation of Indian entrepreneurs building globally distributed companies — combining Indian engineering talent with UK and European market reach. He is known for a product-first leadership style, a strong technical foundation, and a long-term commitment to ethical, privacy-respecting software.

Mayur’s vision for Forem Innovations is to build one of the defining technology companies of the next decade — an enduring global business born in India and scaled from London, known for products that millions of people genuinely choose to use. He sees the coming era of artificial intelligence, privacy-first design, and Indian-language computing as a once-in-a-generation opportunity for young Indian entrepreneurs to lead from the front, not follow. Every product Forem ships, every market it enters, and every engineer it hires is a step toward that long horizon.

“Technology is about empowering people at scale. India today offers an extraordinary opportunity — 1.4 billion users, world-class digital infrastructure, and a generation ready to build. Forem Innovations exists to turn that potential into products families use every day.”

— Mayur Patil, Director, Management (India) & Managing Director (UK), Forem Innovations Private Limited

Leadership Philosophy

Privacy as a Default

Software should respect users. No ads, no tracking, no quiet data collection — the principles behind the Forem Suite.

Long-Term Thinking

Build products that compound. Hire for decades, not quarters. Invest in fundamentals — engineering, trust, and brand.

Bridge Two Worlds

Pair Indian engineering depth with UK and European market reach. Operate as one company across borders, not two regions.

Made for India, Built for the World

Indian-language support, accessible pricing, and global product quality — software that works for the next billion users.
