Working in India, Gurtej Oshan, sales manager in Dubai, had always been passionate about empowering businesses through technology. In his journey in the world of digital innovation, Gurtej witnessed the SaaS revolution reshape industries and felt the pulse of AI-driven transformation. However, even in the most exhilarating times, he felt a call inside him to explore new horizons – to challenge himself beyond familiar borders in a global landscape that celebrated ambition and innovation. It was then that he turned towards UAE, a country racing toward the future with an audacious vision.

“UAE for me stood out as that land of opportunity. I visited GITEX in Dubai in October 2024, which was a glimpse into tomorrow. I realized the country’s rapid digital transformation, vision for a smart future, and the vibrant multicultural environment. I was drawn to UAE’s ambition to become a global tech-hub, and I knew I wanted to be a part of this journey,” says Gurtej.

What happened next was a moment of serendipity. Gurtej visited the CriticalRiver office, where he met Chandra. Soon their conversation turned into something more—a shared vision, a sense of purpose. In the MENA region, CriticalRiver was not just expanding, but also reimagining what was possible. The organization planned to pilot groundbreaking solutions, to redefine success in an evolving market and Gurtej wanted to be a part of this growth story.

“My journey towards CriticalRiver began with a search for more than just a job. I was looking for place where my identity, experiences and perspectives would be valued and celebrated. From the moment I learned about CriticalRiver, I was captivated by its unwavering commitment to fostering an inclusive environment. I saw an opportunity to contribute to the vision of the company that believed in creating a space where everyone could thrive irrespective of their background or identity and embrace growth,” says Gurtej.

The road ahead for Gurtej may be uncharted but it’s filled with opportunities to build, learn, contribute to the future, and collaborate with a team that believes in the power of transformation.

At CriticalRiver, Gurtej’s next chapter begins.
