Twishmay's path to founding Primordial is unconventional by design. He started his career writing code for Morgan Stanley's trading floor — building the systems that execute decisions at institutional speed. From there, he moved to the other side of the table: evaluating growth investments at Actis and Rothschild, running healthcare investment strategies at Balyasny Asset Management, and executing private equity buyouts at Partners Group.

At OYO, he led M&A initiatives at one of the world's fastest-scaling startups, seeing firsthand how enterprise operations break under exponential growth. That experience crystallized a conviction: the most valuable work in enterprise isn't creative strategy — it's the thousands of operational decisions made daily that nobody builds systems for.

He founded PsyTech as an applied research and product development lab — a place to build intelligent software systems from first principles. That work became Primordial: autonomous digital employees that don't just assist but actually do the work.

He writes essays on technology, cognition, and decision-making — exploring the intersection of AI, psychology, finance, and physics.

Before Primordial, Rohan was the kind of operator that high-growth companies depend on. Across two VC-backed companies in San Francisco, he led growth marketing, customer success, and strategic finance — the functions that determine whether a startup scales or stalls. He lived inside the operational reality of hyper-growth.

But his most unusual credential came earlier: serving in the Ministry of Drinking Water and Sanitation, Government of India, where he supported the Secretary on Swachh Bharat Mission policy and implementation. That experience — translating national policy into ground-level execution across a country of 1.4 billion — shaped how he thinks about systems that need to work at impossible scale.

At Primordial, Rohan brings that dual perspective: the speed and metrics-obsession of Silicon Valley, combined with the systems-thinking required to move governments. He's building digital workers that operate at both cadences.
