I don't just advise startups; I've built the entire ecosystem around them. Over 8 years, I've worked across four critical pillars that most consultants never touch: 1. CORPORATE & ENTREPRENEURSHIP: Co-founded 3 ventures (events, AgriTech, hyperlocal marketplace). I know what it's like to pitch, get rejected, pivot, fundraise, and shut down. I've lived the founder journey. 2. GOVERNMENT SCHEMES & POLICY: Managed ₹1 Crore+ in MeitY GENESIS grants. Drafted institutional policies. Navigated compliance, reporting, and fund utilization. I speak the government's language. 3. ACADEMIC INSTITUTIONS: Built incubation programs at TMU and Chitkara University. Trained 2000+ students. Created ERP dashboards, selection frameworks, and KPI systems. I understand how universities actually function. 4. STARTUP INCUBATION: Mentored 170+ startups from idea to funding. 85% completion rate. 75% pitch success improvement. 52 startups at TMU alone with 9 market-ready graduations. I know what moves the needle. Most consultants have 1-2 of these. I have all 4. Current: Incubation Manager, TMIF | Innovation Ambassador, MoE Innovation Cell Active Mentor: IIT Bombay, MIT LaunchX, Horn Entrepreneurship (Univ. of Delaware), Bridge for Billions, Atal Innovation Mission If you're building something real in non-metro India, navigating government schemes, or creating startup ecosystems from scratch; I've already solved the problems you're facing.
