Founder & CEO
CYGEN
With over a decade of experience driving technology innovation across retail and hospitality, Venkat Bhasum founded CYGEN with a singular vision: to empower local businesses with intelligent, scalable, and affordable digital solutions.
What started as a bold idea during the challenges of the COVID era has now grown into a trusted platform supporting hundreds of venues across Australia. Venkat blends his expertise in software engineering, operations, and business strategy to build tools that are both practical and powerful—from point of sale and digital signage to smart rostering and online ordering.
Under his leadership, CYGEN has evolved into an integrated tech ecosystem, tailored for the fast-moving needs of food service, retail, and franchise operations. Venkat remains deeply involved in product development and client success, ensuring that CYGEN delivers value from Day One.
His approach is grounded in customer-first thinking, continuous innovation, and a belief that every small business should have access to enterprise-grade technology—without the enterprise price tag.
