Founder, CEO at The Orbit | On a mission to help 1000+ companies become global by scaling partnership ecosystems | Building next-gen PRM platform | Stanford Acceleration Program Alum

Hey there! I'm Max, founder and CEO of Orbit, where we unlock the potential of B2B tech companies by striking strategic partnerships in exciting new markets.

My passion for entrepreneurship and exploring the world has taken me on a journey across various countries, immersing myself in diverse cultures and business landscapes. These experiences have taught me the true power of indirect sales channels in achieving success across borders.

Throughout my career, I've tackled numerous entrepreneurial projects, including founding a startup studio called Focus, specializing in development, research, and design. I also had an insightful stint at Deloitte as an auditor. The common thread? The undeniable impact of strong partnerships.

Inspired by these experiences, I created Orbit — a platform connecting B2B tech businesses with industry partners in emerging markets like India, Indonesia, LATAM, MENA, and beyond. Our unique ecosystem boasts 250+ affiliate, referral, and reseller partners, helping entrepreneurs harness the power of indirect sales, speed up time to market, and broaden their horizons.

Orbit has experienced rapid growth, attracting angel investors from TMT Investments, Miro, and four other outstanding professionals and working with alumni clients of Stanford, Google Ventures, and Alchemist. My achievements as a top founder led me to participate in a prestigious acceleration program led by Stanford professor Bret Waters.

In 2022, I embarked on a new adventure by moving my family to Bangalore, India's IT hub, to launch Orbit and immerse myself in the local culture. This bold move reinforced my dedication to fostering international collaboration and empowering entrepreneurs worldwide.

Outside the boardroom, I'm a proud dad to two amazing daughters, a yoga enthusiast, and an adventure-seeker with a passion for mountaineering and paragliding.

I love connecting with new people and learning from their unique experiences. So, let's chat and uncover exciting opportunities together! Reach out to me at max@theorbit.me.

Partner and Lead Legal Counsel

As an astute legal professional with 18 years of cross border experience, I have built a dynamic career specializing in General Corporate Advisory, M&A, Employment Laws Regulatory Compliance etc. I have had the privilege of working across a diverse range of industries, including Fintech, Techlogy, Pharma, Real Estate, Media, etc providing high-level legal counsel to help businesses navigate complex legal and regulatory environments.

My core expertise lies in structuring transactions, negotiating deals, and managing legal risks. I have successfully led and executed numerous cross border M&A deals, providing end-to-end support from due diligence and negotiation to final closure. Additionally, I have extensive experience in fundraising, having guided companies through capital-raising processes from structured sources such as private equity and venture capital, as well as unstructured sources like alternative funding mechanisms.

Beyond transactional work, I am deeply committed to compliance and governance matters. I regularly counsel clients on compliance with statutory and regulatory frameworks, covering a range of areas including labour and employment laws and the Prevention of Sexual Harassment (POSH) at the workplace. My approach ensures that businesses not only meet legal requirements but also build ethical and inclusive work environments.

I am particularly passionate about emerging fields like data privacy, AI governance, and technology laws. With technology reshaping industries and regulatory landscapes evolving rapidly, I help businesses implement sound governance practices to mitigate risks and ensure compliance with the latest legal standards in data protection and AI-driven technologies.

Having worked across multiple sectors, I bring a comprehensive perspective that allows me to tailor legal strategies to the unique needs of each industry. My work in pharmaceuticals, for example, involves navigating regulatory frameworks governing healthcare products, while my real estate experience includes handling complex legal issues related to property acquisitions and development projects.

Driven by a commitment to providing innovative and pragmatic legal solutions, I stay at the forefront of industry trends and legal developments. Whether advising startups on fundraising or guiding established businesses through M&A transactions, my goal is to empower clients with the legal insight and support they need to succeed in a rapidly changing business environment.
