OTPless is a company that helps businesses check who their users are without relying only on text-message codes or passwords.

Singla also worked at Syfe before joining OTPless.

It also says it has been making a profit for the past two quarters.

He previously co-founded GenWise, which raised a $3.5 million seed round before shutting down in December 2025.
The appointment follows a leadership reshuffle: Satyam Nathani became CEO, Tanmay Sagar became COO, and cofounder Bhavik Koladiya stepped down as CEO.

Quotes
Geetanshu Singla
OTPless’s newly appointed chief technology officer and former BharatPe engineering head
“I have worked very closely with Satyam Nathani and Tanmay Sagar during my BharatPe days. We have built together, solved some really hard problems together and spent countless hours discussing tech, scale and products. So joining OTPless doesn’t really feel like joining a new company. In many ways, it feels like coming back home.”
