Our Founder

Anupam Phoghat

Our Founder

Anupam (Anu) Phoghat is a seasoned technology leader with over a decade of experience empowering Australian businesses through transformative, scalable, and future-ready digital solutions.

As a Google Developer Expert (GDE) — a distinction held by a select global network of technology practitioners — Anupam has consistently championed developer enablement and engineering excellence. From speaking at global tech forums to mentoring teams, contributing to open-source projects, and shaping feedback loops with Google, he has played a key role in growing a collaborative and innovation-led ecosystem.

Having worked as a consultant, vendor, and client, he brings a unique 360° view of what it takes to turn good tech into great business.

Anupam brings a blend of advanced technical expertise and business strategy acumen, backed by industry-recognised certifications across cloud architecture, automation, data science, digital transformation, and design thinking. This foundation has enabled him to build high-performing teams and lead scalable delivery practices that maximise business impact.

At Core-X, he combines deep technical expertise with commercial clarity to ensure that technology is never the end, but always the means to achieving exponential business outcomes.

WHY WE EXIST

We exist to close the gap between what technology can do and what businesses actually achieve with it — because great tech isn’t enough.

HOW WE STARTED

We saw the waste, the workarounds, and the whiteboards — and built what was missing.

Founding Story

Founding Story

Core-X didn’t start with a product. It started with a pattern.

Our founder witnessed it time and again across high-stakes IT projects and strategic initiatives: technology delivered without strategy, integration without intent, and transformation without traction.

Cloud infrastructure went live, but agility remained stagnant. AI models were built, but rarely activated. Frameworks were rolled out, yet the underlying problems persisted.

It wasn’t the tech that failed. It was the approach.

The real bottleneck wasn’t a lack of innovation. It was the absence of outcome-led execution. Too many consultancies focused on deliverables over impact. They sold the "what" and skipped the "why."

Core-X was born from the need to bridge that gap.

We partner with businesses to go beyond solution delivery by driving strategic alignment, end-to-end ownership, and experience-driven implementation. We make sure great technology doesn’t just sit on the shelf — it moves the needle.
