About me

As a Social Innovation Evangelist and Start Up Mentor, I seek to spot challenges that affect our society and its citizens, curate these challenges and present them as "problems worth solving" to aspiring innovators and start ups in India to take up and try and solve using digital technologies and interventions. I also interact and interface with academia and premier institutes to attract some of the best innovators and talent across the country to our Digital Impact Square ( www.digitalimpactsquare.com ) centre in Nashik. 

I am also a mentor to various start ups and projects currently underway at DISQ and work with the teams in taking their ideas to prototypes and pilot it on the field and eventually launch their social enterprises as start ups

 I have over 25 years of experience in the field of Technology and a decade of experience in driving innovations
