About Sumit Chavda
Sumit Chavda founded LeelaRam Technologies after building and running e-commerce technology for a live jewellery brand — the place where the first product's engine was born and proven on real collections and real sales. Through the company he has also led the end-to-end redevelopment of PrimeStyle, a US diamond-jewellery brand on Shopify, and built the Chamunda Constructions site from nothing. LeelaRam Technologies exists to turn that kind of hard-won, in-the-business software into products other businesses can install in minutes.
