Vittain: Enterprise Simulation OS
Vittain is an AI-native platform that models complex systems, stress-tests strategy, and turns sprawling data into decisions institutions can act on.
Arun Kumar
I build AI-poweredsimulation engines.
I'm building Vittain, an Enterprise Simulation OS: software that lets institutions model the future, stress-test decisions, and turn complex data into clear strategy before committing real capital.
About
I work at the intersection of artificial intelligence, capital markets, and design, building systems that help people and institutions make better decisions under uncertainty.
My focus today is Vittain, an Enterprise Simulation OS: AI-driven engines that synthesize messy, high-dimensional data into strategy. The goal is simple to state and hard to do. Let organizations rehearse the future before they live it.
That work is grounded in two decades spanning quantitative finance and human-centered design. I have helped generate alpha and drive operational efficiency inside top global hedge funds and private equity firms, founded and scaled startups in FinTech and AdTech, and led cross-border transactions across three continents.
What I'm building
I build at two scales: the institutions making complex decisions, and the people whose lives those choices touch. AI simulation is the common thread.
Factex: Beyond the Enterprise
Factex is where I explore products for individuals, extending the same modeling discipline, honed inside institutional finance, to the financial, physical, and emotional choices that shape how people live.
Background
A career built across quantitative finance, entrepreneurship, and design, on four continents.
Quantitative finance
Led alpha-generation and operational-efficiency initiatives across investment strategies and asset classes at global hedge funds and private equity firms.
