Tietoja
I co-venture and partner with passionate entrepreneurs and progressive enterprises during key inflection points to create valuable high-impact ventures. The digital era of convergence is fascinating. As a digital business leader, I am driven by gaining new informed perspectives, outlook, purposes and passion by progressively improving myself with new skills, knowledge, expertise and information.
I am driven by two parallel missions.
I am driven by helping organizations successfully prototype, launch and grow new ventures, digital business models and scalable revenue operations. The recipes for building scalable businesses are vision, appetite, ambition, skill and learning abilities of organizations, entrepreneurs and leaders to re-imagine their customers’ journey in the increasingly connected online landscape. Valuable Businesses tirelessly persevere on a vision while progressively innovating and executing a range of delightful customer experiences.
I am deeply passionate about playing a positive role in transforming impact areas like care, care outcomes, patient experience, sustainable care futures using emerging technologies, empowering career support ecosystems and transforming skills and education.
I volunteer remotely as a business consultant with the Stanford University Seed Transformation Network companies to develop customized and creative business solutions. Stanford Seed consultants are a team of globally reputed and experienced professionals who work with Stanford Seed, a program that provides training, coaching, and mentoring opportunities to high potential entrepreneurs in emerging markets. I am also a mentor at the Stanford Seed Spark Program.

How do you manage Q&A and follow-up with investors?
Going into a Q&A session with investors, it's also important to remember that there are no inherently bad ideas. It all comes down to how effectively you communicate that your concept can inspire, provide value, or establish a meaningful connection with your intended audience. It's important to acknowledge that the investors you're pitching to may not necessarily match your target customer profile. Thus, it becomes crucial to demonstrate depth and clarity in thought that your ideas can genuinely resonate with your startup's target audience. Moreover, express your willingness to adapt, refine, or pivot as necessary to ensure success.

How do you manage Q&A and follow-up with investors?
As part the preparations, the effort you put into getting to know your potential investor before a conversation can be a crucial distinguishing factor. Comprehending their investment philosophy, portfolio, and interests holds significant importance. Firstly, it indicates a genuine desire to establish a meaningful relationship rather than just seeking financial support. This inclination can lead investors to be more likely to invest not only in your business but also in you as an entrepreneur. Secondly, it can enable you to fine-tune your presentation to better match their specific interests and investment objectives. The questions and nature of conversations during a pitch largely depends on your preparation for the pitch!

Could not finish and defend my thesis as I had to return to India because of personal reasons). Won many travel grants to present my work at international conferences. My study and research was completely funded.
The project involved developing methods and logic for classifying large pool of sequence data based on their possible biological functions to understand impact of gene fusion in changing functions of these sequences (especially with evidence that gene fusion is linked to various medical diseases like cancer). We conceived a Pattern Discovery Logic to identify fused genes and subsequently comparing this computationally generated data for its accuracy with smaller data sets of experimentally validated information.
My Minor studies involved courses on Social Media, Strategic Management, Strategy Planning, International Business and Entrepreneurship and Knowledge management -

The platform introduced the concept of travel enthusiasts as travel planners using the suite of tools available on the platform. The platform won the start-up for the year at ITsAP/HySEA, was selected for the British Council Young Creative Entrepreneur awards and was briefly in news for all the right reasons. While Traveka stills lives in memory, we could not take this past the early users phase due to the lack of funding ecosytem then for largely untested and novel digital consumer experiences like Traveka. Traveka nevertheless, gave Jugular the steel and determination to keep pursuing it's passion for transformational digital marketing and consumer experience.
