Having worked in multiple startups across zero-to-one and growth stages (including 2 of his own) and strategy consulting, Chandrasekhar is convinced that Entrepreneurs are superheroes pushing humanity forward.

He is excited to work with teams that go after tough problems in large markets with grit and conviction.

Always ready to ‘whiteboard over coffee’, he loves spending time with entrepreneurs to drive insights by breaking down complex problems. He comes with deep appreciation and empathy for what a founder goes through having started up twice in the past.

Having spent a decade building Consumer Brands, Marketplaces and Communities he believes large B2C businesses can only be built by teams who put the consumer front-and-center in everything they do.
