Projjal founded OnLoop in 2020 to create a category called Collaborative Team Development (CTD) to fundamentally reinvent how hybrid teams are assessed and developed. This was after over a decade of frustration with clunky, traditional enterprise performance management and learning processes and tools that were either hated or ignored by his teams at companies like Uber and Accenture where he spent many years. He is now dedicated to his lifelong mission of unleashing the full potential of the world’s 1 billion knowledge workers.
Prior to founding OnLoop, Projjal spent three and a half years at Uber in a variety of roles including leading Strategy & Operations for Business Development globally, leading Strategy & Planning for the APAC rides business, and GM of the Philippines rides business. Besides Uber, he also spent some time raising debt and equity from New York hedge funds for an industrials conglomerate (Essar), in strategy consulting in South East Asia (Accenture), and in early stage companies in Latin America (BlueKite, El Market) prior to that. Somewhere along the way he spent 2 years at Stanford (GSB), getting an MBA.

As seen on
“Founded in 2020 by a global team, OnLoop is a mobile-first platform that helps managers and teams build better feedback loops. It is compounding regular, bite-sized feedback to create dynamic goals – all summarized by artificial intelligence (AI) to replace traditional performance reviews written from memory. Teams can then bridge the gaps in professional development and team productivity magnified by remote work. OnLoop is custom-built for the global, hybrid teams of the future.”
“The Singapore-based company designed a mobile-first product that consistently gathers employee feedback and goals so that the company has better insights into how both individuals and teams are doing. The feedback is also captured and converted into auto-generated reviews that lay out all of the content collected for managers to then quickly put together a finished product.”
“OnLoop, an AI and behavioural science-powered collaborative team development product built for hybrid working teams to convert feedback and goal captures into auto-generated performance reviews, announced today that the product is now available to all users. The platform has been in private beta since January 2021.”
“In Singapore, there’s a shortage of software development talent, specifically those who are hungry and mission-oriented. We have a shortage of folks who want to thrive, learn and grow yet also willing to explore working in a start-up company and the inherent sacrifices, however ground floor build reward that comes with that. The government has invested quite a bit of money in attracting Silicon Valley tech companies that have also set up R&D centres here. This means start-ups like us are not only competing with Grab, Shopee, or Lazada, but also competing with Google, Stripe, Facebook or Twitter, so there’s a highly competitive market for tech talent in general.”
“A mobile-first sharing platform, OnLoop enables teams to compound AI-summarised feedback, helping them reach higher goals, faster.
As a technology pioneer, OnLoop will work with global technology leaders to address major industry and societal issues over the next two years. The company will also contribute to WEF initiatives, events, and discussions.“
