Bilaal Abdel Hassan
Co-Founder & Senior Developer
Bilaal's story with technology didn't start with venture capital or a polished business plan. It started with curiosity. Fascinated by computers as a child, he spent hours exploring the family PC, and that curiosity became a vocation at university, where he began freelancing in web development and building the lasting client relationships that still define Exera today.
After a few years in the corporate world, he chose to step away and learn business from the ground up, spending three years in retail while building IT tools on the side. "That experience taught me how businesses really work: stock, sales, the day-to-day," he says. It's the insight that shaped EXRP, Exera's flagship ERP, built specifically for Mauritian SMEs, right down to its built-in CO₂ tracker.
"The projects everyone else says can't be done, those are the ones I take on, and we find a way to make them work."

Naailah Aadilah Gunglee
Co-Founder & Chief Business Officer
Naailah brings a rare combination to Exera: the mind of an educator and the eye of a business strategist. As Chief Business Officer, she sits with each client and dissects how their business really runs, mapping out processes to the smallest detail. That clarity is what lets Bilaal and the team build exactly what a client needs, often things they hadn't even realised they needed.
An engaged educator, she also researches learning methods adapted to neurodivergent children, and it's her influence that made educational inclusion a founding pillar of the company. For Naailah, technology should serve people, and leave no one behind.
A committed environmental advocate, Naailah is the reason Exera runs on green, renewable energy, and her idea for carbon tracking helped earn the company its Made in Moris Sustainability Champions title.
"Protecting nature is non-negotiable for us. We want to prove a local Mauritian company can be competitive while respecting the planet."
