À propos de Saurabh
I have 18+ years of experience having worked for Fortune 500 clients as well as built startups from scratch.
I have built my career in a variety of roles and industries, mostly in my own bootstrapped start-ups where I was supposed to build things from scratch and take on multiple responsibilities. In my past and current experiences, I have advised small and medium sized businesses, while working on projects involving product development and technology management, competitive research, developing go-to-market strategies, and building business cases.
I started my career as a software developer, and then moved on to business - and hence posses a strong understanding on how to structure technology to maximise business goals. I keep myself well versed with latest technology trends, and am technically responsible for my own projects also including hands-on coding, managing infrastructure, project and product management.
I hold a Masters in Science from University of Bocconi, Milan and MBA from Indian Institute of Management, Ahmedabad, India.
