About us

We believe authentication shouldn’t come at the cost of user experience, security, or sanity.

We don’t just want to eliminate passwords. We want to eliminate the pain they have caused: breaches, tickets, failed logins, lost users. Every line of code we ship moves us closer to a world where logging in feels like nothing, because it just works.

Meet the Founders

Meet the Founders

Riya

Co-founder & CEO

Vision-obsessed, Product-intense. Relentlessly customer-obsessed. Riya drives Hawcx’s strategy with sharp instincts, deep empathy for people and an uncanny radar for what customers actually need. She's known for asking "how does this help the customer?" in nearly every meeting and she means it.

Ravi

Co-founder & Chief scientist

The cryptographic brain behind the operation. Ravi leads foundational research and innovation at Hawcx, with a zero-compromise approach to security, performance, and mathematical precision.

He designs protocols rooted in proven methods, optimizes implementations down to the chip level, and ensures every cryptographic primitive we use is battle-tested or we build our own. Whether it's side-channel resistance, constant-time execution, or squeezing nanoseconds from silicon, Ravi makes security invisible and invincible.

Selva

Co-founder & CTO

Systems thinker. Execution engine. Reliability-obsessed. Selva leads engineering at Hawcx with a deep commitment to architecture that scales, performs, and never buckles under pressure.Whether it’s designing fault-tolerant infra or guiding the team through zero-downtime rollouts, Selva makes sure what we ship is not just fast, it’s forever stable. PS - We ship every 48 hours.He is the force behind the scenes turning complex ideas into reliable, production-grade reality. A former multi-sport athlete and meditation practitioner of 20+ years, Selva brings the same discipline, focus, and resilience to build Hawcx’s technology strategy.

Our Core Values

Our Core Values

Customer First, Full Stop.

Every feature, fix, and decision starts with one question:
"Does this help the customer?"

We don't chase vanity metrics or hype cycles. We obsess over real user needs, build with empathy, and never ship something we wouldn't love to use ourselves.

Security is the baseline

It's not a feature. It's the floor. We design every system assuming it will be tested by scale, by attackers, by chaos. From zero-trust architecture to end-to-end encryption, we treat trust as sacred and never cut corners.

Be Real. Be Good.

We hire and work with people who are sharp and kind.
No ego. No performative BS. Just good humans who care deeply and speak honestly. We work with people who do the right thing especially when no one’s watching.

Build fast. Hold the chaos.

We move with urgency but never reckless.
Speed is how we learn, iterate, and win. But trust, quality, and security never get sacrificed to ship faster. We scale velocity through clarity, not heroics.
