Through educational and working experiences in over 5 countries, I have come to believe that the future of the world lies in technology backed with business model innovation guided by sustainability principles. I am a Master in Management student at ESCP Business School specialising in Investment Banking and ‘Competition & Innovation in high tech’. My subject focus lies on Market evolution & disruption, Funding and scaling tech ventures, PE, VC, M&A and Corporate globalisation. Before that, I completed my bachelor degree in Mechanical Engineering from Vellore Institute of Technology where I worked extensively on technology development with emphasis on Aerial Drone Delivery, Human robot interface, and sustainability tech that gained international accolades. I had the distinct opportunity to be a Council Member in the Institution’s Innovation Council that worked to put Vellore Institute of Technology on the first place on India’s innovation rank awarded by the President of India. In the past, I have worked to re-define innovation management through my startup venture Qolab.io. Through the power of co-creation, at qolab, we developed a portable ventilator for the govt. of India to contribute to the COVID-19 ventilator crisis. I have also worked closely through internships, in the renewable energy sector. Currently, I am working towards developing a new venture to make Lithium ion batteries circular for the Electric vehicle transition. I am looking forward to opportunities in Consulting, Venture development/entrepreneurship, or Venture capital with an emphasis on energy, mobility & automobiles, and healthcare industries.
