Hi, I'm Akshay Lal
I'm a tech founder and product builder with deep experience in AI, computer vision, and SaaS. I co-founded the YC-backed data labelling startup Playment in 2015. In 2021, Playment was acquired by TELUS International. I have built ML/data infrastructure used by global teams, earning a spot on Forbes 30 Under 30 Asia. Now I'm focused on applying that engineering and product mindset to football analytics and performance technology.
Football has been a constant in my life — I play regularly in London and spend a lot of time experimenting with tracking, pose estimation, and tactical analysis tools. I'm especially interested in bridging elite-level analysis with practical, scalable software, and I love working with people in football who want to push the game forward.
