Varun Singh, Chief Business Officer at Unolabs Technologies

Unolabs Technologies has appointed Varun Singh Chief Business Officer, with a mandate to take the data, AI and digital transformation consultancy into the GCC, Canada and Australia.

New role: Chief Business Officer, Unolabs Technologies
Company: UK-headquartered data, AI and digital transformation consulting firm, with operations in India, Australia and Hong Kong
Mandate: build new markets, win strategic clients, forge partnerships and accelerate revenue in the GCC, Canada and Australia
17 years across HealthTech, manufacturing, consulting and investment migration
Founder and MD of Xiphias Group; co-founder and CBO at ASTA Health Tech; MD at TUR Architectural Door Hardware
Based in Dubai. Follows the recent addition of Sandeep Sudarshan as Co-Founder and Chief Growth Officer

Three Markets At Once Is The Unusual Part

Most consultancies open one geography at a time, because each needs its own client references, compliance posture and local hires. Unolabs is asking one person to do the GCC, Canada and Australia simultaneously, which is either ambitious or a way of saying the company will follow whichever of the three responds first.

Co-founder and CEO Akshay Raj was blunt about the intent:

"We did not bring Varun in to explore the GCC, Canada, and Australia; we brought him in to win them."

Varun Singh, A Founder Taking A Corporate Seat

Varun Singh's own framing is worth quoting because it names what the role is to him: "This is more than a new role. It is the next league in my entrepreneurial journey."

His background is entrepreneurial rather than corporate. Xiphias Group spans immigration, projects and superfoods; ASTA Health Tech he co-founded; TUR is architectural hardware. An IT engineer who became a business builder across unrelated categories is a specific profile, and what transfers is market entry rather than sector expertise.

The Dubai base fits that. It is the natural seat for GCC enterprise selling and a reasonable hub for Australia, though it is a long way from Canadian buyers.

What The Pitch Rests On

Raj's argument for why this can work is delivery speed: enterprises in these markets "have heard every transformation promise", and what they have not seen is "a partner that ships working systems in weeks". Co-founder and CTO Binu Kuttappan made the same point from the engineering side, saying the platforms are built to travel, governed and ready to deploy per region.

That is the right claim to make in a market crowded with large integrators, and also the easiest to test. Consulting reputations in new geographies are made on the first two or three delivered projects, not on the seniority of the person who sold them.
