Krignal Launches as India’s Global Business Network
Krignal has launched as India’s global business network, helping founders, professionals, investors, companies, and institutions form trusted professional relationships across India and the world.
Founded by Mukund Canthadai, Krignal is offline-first, human-curated, and AI-assisted. Its Network brings together curated events, Krignal TV, and a member community. Krignal Private is a concierge-led service for high-stakes relationship needs, with each engagement supported by a dedicated Relationship Manager.
The launch was held at Welcomhotel by ITC Hotels, Chennai, in the presence of Justice Dr. T.N. Vallinayagam; Dr. V.G. Santhosam, Chairman, VGP Group of Companies; Wan Ahmad Tarmizi, Trade Commissioner, Malaysia External Trade Development Corporation; Ms. Amesta Yisca Putri, Director, Indonesia Trade Promotion Center; Mr. Antony Lobo, Honorary Consul of Spain; Mr. P. Rhevanth Charan, Member of the Tamil Nadu Legislative Assembly; Dr. E. Khalieraaj Naidu, Director, National Cyber Security Research Council; and Mr. Anirudh Balaji, Executive Director, National Cyber Security Research Council.
The evening included discussions on the future of business, technology, investment, social impact, and international trade. More than 150 entrepreneurs, business leaders, diplomats, investors, and professionals attended.
India is going global, and the world is coming to India. Yet many relationships behind important decisions still depend on fragmented circles, chance meetings, and cold outreach.
“Existing networks help you meet more people. Krignal helps you meet the right ones,” said Mukund Canthadai. “We focus on genuine relationships, the kind behind major decisions. Krignal brings professionals and companies together with greater relevance, context, and trust.”
Also introduced at the launch was Krignal TV, a digital television channel and the network’s discovery layer, bringing viewers closer to the people and companies powering India’s rise through leadership conversations, company stories, entrepreneurial journeys, and industry insight.
“Many people and companies doing consequential work are not always the easiest to discover,” said Srinidhi VG, Chief Business Officer, Krignal TV. “Krignal TV gives real capability a clearer way to be seen, helping important stories reach the people who need to know about them.”
Krignal’s purpose is simple: to make the professional relationships that matter easier to discover, begin, and grow between India and the world.
