About Skewb

Skewb is a business consultancy firm specializing in digital transformation for the water and energy utility sectors. Founded in 2018 by the husband and wife team Shashi and Indu Seshadri, the Warwick-based company provides a range of services including strategic advisory, system implementation, change management, and operational efficiency solutions. Shashi Seshadri, with a background in Electronic Engineering and extensive experience in the UK utilities sector, serves as CEO, setting the company's strategic direction. Indu Seshadri, who holds a Master's in Software Engineering and began her career as a software developer and analyst at Wipro, is the Co-Founder and Director of Business Services.

The company's business model is centered on offering both consultancy services and a suite of proprietary digital software products. These products are designed to integrate with existing client systems, utilizing bespoke algorithms and AI to provide new insights for decision-making in areas such as water leakage, net-zero initiatives, and customer service. Skewb aims to help utility companies address challenges from increasing regulation, customer expectations, and climate change by improving systems and processes. The firm operates on a collaborative model, integrating its team of industry experts directly with client teams to deliver and embed solutions.

Since its inception, Skewb has experienced rapid growth, expanding to 170 employees and increasing its revenue nearly fourfold over three years. The company has secured significant funding to support its expansion, including a £6.25 million investment from BGF in April 2024 and a previous round from ThinCats. This capital is aimed at developing new products, investing in personnel and technology, and exploring new markets.
