BUSINESS TRANSFORMATIONS

Transformed a low-value TCS practice into a customer-satisfying, new revenue stream Transformed India's software industry by pioneering customer-centric development

AS CEO, DO YOU VALUE THE TRUTH YOU MUST HEAR?

I was Advisor to a healthcare startup seeking $25M in venture funding


DIAGNOSIS: Productizing isn't merely embedding a business process in software code; you need innovation that delivers new value to customers, but the startup's business model lacked a differentiating innovation

RISK: Without a differentiating innovation, the probability of funding was zero

ADVICE: Predicting an upcoming crash, I gave the bad news required to pivot

OUTCOME: The startup failed to secure funding, as I had accurately predicted
