Tejpaul Bhatia is the founder and CEO of Nebex, a platform that connects buyers, suppliers, and capital across complex transactions from demand to delivery. He is a space investor, executive, and entrepreneur. His career spans transformative product, platform, and business model innovation across startups and enterprises including Axiom Space, Google, Citi, and ESPN.
