I'm Manan, Co-founder & COO of MyPerro, an AI-powered smart collar for dogs, incubated at IIM-B NSRCEL and featured on Shark Tank India Season 5. I've been in the trenches of 0→1 startup building, from crafting investor pitch decks and running pre-seed fundraising to navigating hardware product development and IoT consulting. One thing I've gotten really good at is cracking grants. I've raised $20K in non-dilutive funding across 4 grants with zero equity dilution including MeitY Genesis (Top 10 nationwide out of thousands), MeitY TIDE 2.0, The Residency Fellowship, and VIT's Student Startup Venture grant.
