Strategic Systems Builder
Embedded. Strategic. Real.
I’m Rohith Sampathi, founder of Montaigne, a boutique strategy firm. I don’t consult from the sidelines. I embed directly inside founder teams to architect clarity, scale, and sovereign systems.
From land-tech to luxury, I’ve helped bold founders build structures that hold under pressure and scale without noise. Every role you’ll see here was executed via Montaigne — built from within.
Select systems that made impact.
I joined 1Acre as a strategic architect to help them become India’s most trusted land platform.

Montaigne Smart Business Solutions
Founder
2017–Present
I started Montaigne to go deeper into strategy than most roles would allow. Rather than chase titles, I wanted to apply my thinking directly inside real businesses, to solve hard problems and build systems that hold under pressure. Between 2017–2020 and 2022–2025, every role here was executed via Montaigne, embedded, accountable, and hands-on. The work spanned land-tech, luxury real estate, and private market intelligence.
