Roombr, an AI-driven digital classroom platform, has named Fayyaz Hussain as Chief Growth Officer to lead business expansion and fundraising.
The appointment follows strong company growth across Tier-2 and Tier-3 cities in India, where it has deployed about 3,000 AI-enabled classrooms in 1,000 schools over the past two years, reaching nearly 150,000 students.
Hussain, a two-time entrepreneur with over two decades of experience, has held leadership roles at Paytm, iBibo Group, U2opia Mobile, and Times Internet. His background includes scaling early-stage ventures, driving market expansion, and building strategic partnerships.
Speaking on the appointment, Satisha Naraharimurthy, Founder and CEO of Roombr, said, “We are entering a scale-up phase where speed, capital strategy, and global expansion become mission-critical. Fayyaz’s leadership and track record in scaling tech companies make him the ideal partner to drive our next chapter as we deepen our India footprint and expand into Southeast Asia and the Middle East.”
Founded and bootstrapped by Naraharimurthy, Roombr has developed a patented AI-powered digital classroom infrastructure that integrates hardware, software, analytics, and learning-outcome tracking. The platform supports personalised instruction, teacher enablement, and measurable academic gains, and is designed for schools in India and other emerging markets.
As CGO, Hussain will oversee growth strategy, international expansion, and capital planning as the company prepares for its next funding round.
Commenting on his new role, Hussain said, “Roombr is one of those rare Made-in-India companies solving a foundational education challenge with global-class technology. I look forward to working with Satish and the team to unlock new markets, expand institutional partnerships, and scale impact globally.”
Roombr said it plans to further expand its presence across India while building partnerships in Southeast Asia and the Middle East, where demand for affordable AI-enabled classroom infrastructure is rising.
