Founding team

The founders of Focus Realm.

Focus Realm is built by a founding team that has spent its time in the same argument: what can we remove and still have the product do its job? Everything we ship, in both verticals, survived that question.

Sehej Sharma

Founder & Chief Executive Officer

The trailblazer who builds software around the work, not the other way round.

“Standards stop being a document nobody reads the moment they become the unit of work a staff member is doing right now.”

Sehej Sharma is the Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Focus Realm, a software company building learning and operations platforms. He sets the company's direction across both of its product lines — Mise, the service execution platform for hotels, and the Focus Realm education platform for schools, colleges and universities — and leads it from the front of the room, in front of general managers, principals and boards who have heard every software pitch there is.

The operator who makes a standard survive week three.

“A standard that survives week three is an operating decision, not a document decision.”

Ali Electricwala is a Founder and the Chief Operating Officer of Focus Realm. He owns how the company's products actually land with the people who use them — pilot design, rollout, and the operating discipline that keeps a product in daily use after the launch enthusiasm wears off, in hotels and in education institutions alike.

Aditya Mishra

Founder & Chief Technology Officer

The architect who removes things until the task is all that is left.

“The hardest engineering problem here is a 340px screen held in one hand, in daylight, on hotel wifi.”

Aditya Mishra is a Founder and the Chief Technology Officer of Focus Realm. He leads engineering across both product lines and drives the company's subtraction-first design principle: every screen earns its place, and anything that does not help the person using it finish the job in front of them gets removed before it ships.

Board of advisors

The people who tell us when we are wrong.

Our advisors run their own practices in hospitality training and image consulting. They are not staff — which is exactly why their read on the product is worth having.

Teaching a standard and running it are different problems. When the SOP stops at the classroom, service quality comes down to who happens to be on shift — and inconsistency is what caps a property's rating long before its rooms do.

Guests decide how they feel about a hotel in the first minute, on details nobody ever wrote down. Presentation that is never defined cannot be taught or repeated, so it never compounds into the reputation a property grows on.
