Ritesh Arora
Co-founder and Chief Executive Officer
Ritesh Arora is the Co-Founder and CEO of BrowserStack, the world’s leading AI-powered software testing platform. More than 50,000 teams in 135+ countries, including Microsoft, Amazon, NVIDIA, Tesco, and Shell, rely on BrowserStack to deliver quality software at speed.
Ritesh co-founded BrowserStack with Nakul Aggarwal in 2011 after spotting an unsolved global need for cross-browser testing during an earlier venture. Under his leadership, BrowserStack has scaled from a bootstrapped startup to a global SaaS leader, with a $4B valuation, a suite of 20+ testing products, 20+ AI agents spanning test planning to release, and remote teams across Mumbai, Dublin, and San Francisco. The company is backed by Accel, BOND, and Insight Partners.
As CEO, Ritesh has led the company to several industry accolades, including being named to the Forbes Cloud 100 five times, most recently in 2025, LinkedIn’s Top 25 Startups in India, and winning the SaaSBOOMi SaaS Startup of the Year. BrowserStack was also recognized as the Bootstrap Champ at the Economic Times Startup Awards (2015) and, most recently, as the Outstanding Startup at the Forbes India Leadership Awards (2025).
Ritesh is a serial entrepreneur, an angel investor, and a problem-solver at heart, passionate about building products that address complex global challenges. He holds a Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science from the Indian Institute of Technology, Bombay, where he and Nakul pledged Rs. 100 crore in 2025 toward student housing and campus infrastructure. He lives in Mumbai with his family and enjoys all things math, science, and space.
