Built the foundation of GPS Renewables alongwith Sreekrishna Sankar, under the active mentorship of i2india's CEO and GPS' first Chairman, Deepam Mishra

I had opted out of the final placements at IIMB, with the idea of starting my own company. Until the idea of GPS Renewables took shape, I hustled through the period by taking up various consulting assignments for startups from my network, something that I had curated over the previous years. My longest and most impactful assignment during this phase was with Stack! Studios, a Turin, Italy, based architectural design firm, who were developing FELIX (www.felixrender.com), which at that point was one of the few online architectural rendering platforms. I worked with the Stack! team on their business plan, financial and pricing models and investor reach-out

Result was a unique consulting firm run by serial entrepreneurs across Europe and Americas. It helped early-stage startups and midsize companies from the TIME sector (Telecom, Internet, Media and Entertainment) internationalize and accelerate their business growth in newer markets. I was hired by Result as an intern during IIMB's '08 summer placements. During my internship at Result, I worked under the tutelage of its founder, Ola Ahlvarsson. Result was acquired by Epicenter in early 2021.

Anveshan was a telecom product startup, founded by MT Karunakaran (part of the founding team of C-DOT, that ignited India's telecom revolution and co-founder of Deccanet Design, which was acquired by Flextronics).
