Where I can help
Five ways to make technology work better for your business. One person who keeps the wider picture in view.
A known person to help set priorities, coordinate vendors and keep everyday technology decisions moving.
A more organised Google Workspace or Microsoft 365 environment that people can use with confidence.
Replace awkward legacy processes with tools your team can realistically adopt and maintain.
Decide where AI is useful, what should stay private and which small workflow changes are worth trying.
Make sensible, risk-aware decisions about access, data and everyday security hygiene.
The difference is personal
Not another vendor to manage. Someone to help you make sense of the ones you already have.
A straightforward way forward
A messy cloud setup, an office move, a decision nobody owns. Start with the business problem, not a shopping list.
We identify the priorities and agree the scope. A focused piece of work or an ongoing advisory relationship, without an open ended support promise.
Get practical advice, coordinated vendors and hands-on delivery where it is explicitly included. Keep the next step clear.
Your adviser / Not a ticket queue
Rishi Uttamchandani
Independent technology adviser
BSc (Hons) Cyber Security, First-Class Honours
Plymouth University through HKU SPACE / 2024
I am Rishi Uttamchandani, a Hong Kong technology professional with over 20 years of experience working where business operations and IT meet. I spent many years leading technology for a trading and manufacturing business across Hong Kong and Mainland China, working through legacy systems, cloud migrations and the everyday realities of keeping people productive.
I also co-founded and built Sinosend, a SaaS platform for secure, large file transfers, with hands-on responsibility for its cloud infrastructure, software development and operation. That experience keeps my advice grounded in the choices and constraints of running a business, not just recommending tools.
I hold a First-Class Honours degree in Cyber Security from Plymouth University through HKU SPACE, completed in 2024. Today, through Pentalobe Digital Advisors, I bring that practical and security-aware perspective to small firms in Central and across Hong Kong Island. You work directly with me, with clear scope and honest boundaries.
Honest boundaries
Small Central and Hong Kong Island firms. Typically 3 to 30 people, often fewer than 15. A known adviser rather than a support bench.
We agree the work before starting. If you need a different kind of provider, that boundary should be clear from the first conversation.
A few useful answers
No. Pentalobe Digital Advisors is a solo advisory practice. You work with Rishi, not a ticket queue or a team of engineers. It is not a replacement for a staffed MSP or a 24/7 helpdesk.
Business-hours advisory, triage, priorities, vendor coordination and a monthly check-in. Hands-on delivery is separately scoped unless we explicitly agree to include it. There are no published response guarantees.
Yes. This can include setup, migration, access management, MFA and account hygiene. We agree what is needed and what is in scope before starting.
Hands-on work can be part of a defined engagement. It is not an unlimited repair service, and an advisory retainer does not automatically include every technical fix.
Choosing tools that fit the work, setting sensible boundaries for business information and helping with light workflows. Not a large AI transformation programme or a promise to automate everything.
