Why Work With Krishnan Naganathan


Innovation is not about ideas — it is about building a business engine that captures value.

I help founders go beyond features and storytelling and focus on what truly matters: Innovation Rent. The financial surplus that only innovators can earn when their advantage lasts longer than imitation.


I bring:

  1. 25+ years of experience in innovation strategy, design thinking & commercialisation
  2. Leadership roles across industry — Ford, McKinsey, Valcon, Castrol, FLSmidth
  3. Founder of Innovation Gurukul & Think Horizon Consulting
  4. Teaching Innovation and Design Thinking at top B Schools such as Great Lakes of Institute, Chennai
  5. Experience with innovation consulting at Indian organisations such as Tata Group, Thermax, CavinKare, RPG Raychem, etc. and globally for governments and private organisations
  6. A proven IP-backed innovation system: Innovation GPS™, Nine Stages of Innovation™ and Innovation Rent Valuation Framework™


My work has improved:

  1. Desirability → sharper problem-solution fit
  2. Feasibility → robust technical & ecosystem readiness
  3. Viability → defendable business model & valuation
  4. Investor interest → confident fundraising & scaling


If you want to cut uncertainty, accelerate adoption, and earn durable innovation rent, then I can help you build a roadmap that investors respect and customers embrace.


Let’s turn your innovation into a growth engine.
