Emilien Coquard

Emilien Coquard

CEO & CO-FOUNDER

Excelling in computing since childhood, one of the first ideas Emilien brought to life was a highly successful Facebook app he created and developed while at university. Not content with this venture, he graduated in his native Lyon and took his software skills to Asia. Within 3 years he was COO of a multinational mobile development agency, and not so long after — The Scalers was born. Created with the desire to build a unique offshore model, Emilien’s original vision has materialised, and he’s just as ambitious about future plans for expansion. When he’s not masterminding The Scalers to success, you can find Emilien traversing the bustling streets of Bangalore on his Vespa, on the lookout for the coolest Korean restaurants. Emilien is also the Vice President of La French Tech Bangalore-India, a network created to promote France as one of the best countries in the world to start and scale global tech champions.

Deepak Arunachalam

COO & PARTNER

After living across Europe, Asia, and Africa for 18 years, Deepak returned to France to pursue a degree in Political Science and Business Studies. Trilingual, speaking French, English, and Tamil — he worked at Amazon managing a team responsible for French third-party content operations. He was then headhunted by The Scalers. Deepak is in charge of coordinating partner operations to ensure optimum team performance and smooth sailing for your offshore operations. Deepak is the business mediator helping you establish a coherent corporate and cultural partnership. Outside of work you’ll find him either on his motorcycle, on his bass, or on duty with his high-maintenance puppy.
