I am the Managing Partner at Biome, a full stack Venture Studio that uses an integrative approach to company building to transform bold ideas into the next generation of high impact, market-defining companies alongside experienced and passionate entrepreneurs. My dream was to turn Hyderabad into one of the leading startup cities in the world, and that vision was fulfilled through the creation of T-Hub, a company that I founded in partnership with the Government of Telangana. I have over 30 years of international experience in product strategy, product management and business development, but my true passion is helping startups scale and building thriving communities around entrepreneurship. I possess in-depth knowledge of the global and Indian startup ecosystems, and have successfully built a strong community that includes investors, corporates, venture studios, incubators & accelerators and govt organizations. I am the Founding India President of the Global Entrepreneurship Network, a Board Member of GEN Space, on the South Asia Advisory Board for the Dalai Lama Center for Ethics & Transformative Values at MIT, and advisor to several governments and organizations on building innovation ecosystems.
