About Xenial Events

Pramit genuinely cares about fostering human connection, so he founded Xenial Events.

With a bachelor’s degree in Computer Programming and an MBA minored in Marketing, Pramit started off as a freelancer in the event industry. He also worked in tons of other positions both in India and the U.A.E., including being a business developer and project head. In other words, he found his feet in entrepreneurship long before he became one. It was not until 2019 that Pramit translated his vision to the real world, with the intention to empower freelancers with state-of-the-art technology. With a human-centric approach, he established Xenial Events as a staffing event company, all the while crafting new methods, raising standards, and constantly eyeing improvement.

In his spare time, Pramit likes to go for a ride and relax to the soothing sound of the waves.

Sahil shoots straight and never misses.

Sahil has an insatiable appetite for technology and applications. Because graduating with a bachelor’s degree in Computer Software Engineering did not quench his thirst for knowledge, Sahil pursued a master’s degree in Computer Application. To develop his industry knowledge, he worked in a number of reputable companies – both in India and the U.A.E. – including Microsoft and Drift, and enjoyed developing dozens of apps. He then joined forces with Pramit in 2019 to establish Xenial Events, and, ever since then, he developed a love for staffing events, namely connecting with others through technology.

When he’s not in the office, Sahil enjoys playing billiards and guitar and hunting down restaurants that serve butter chicken.
