Excited to share that have joined TICE (https://www.tice.news) as Chief Mentor.
I believe at this point of time in my career/life this role is apt and provides me an opportunity to explore my passion. This new hybrid consultant role gives me a flexibility of spending time with my parents in Goa, professionally gives me freedom to express, explore further ways of building a better, cohesive, vibrant Indian Startup ecosystem in India and continue with the personal passion of assisting/supporting Startups & Ecosystem Builders of India.
Having transitioned from an Entrepreneur to an Employee working for last 5 years, as a Indian Startup Ecosystem Builder (Consulting as EY project Manager at iStart Rajasthan, MSInS, StartUp Promotion Cell, Goa and in the Startup Supporting Organisations (AIM, AICGIM), I still felt that can do and have to do more for/in the Indian Startup Ecosystem as an enabler. I was not done yet. Hence instead of doing my Startup or look for opportunities outside of the Indian Startup Ecosystem, this opportunity to be associated with TICE came as a gift and an opportune time. It made me realise that I can offer more and better as part of TICE instead of opening my own Incubator, Accelerator, Consulting, etc. I still might do a Startup of my own soon. Its in stealth mode for now and more on that later.
Mr Manoj Singh, founder TICE.news is an experienced journalist and the big picture man. Interactions with him and sharing of common belief, values encouraged me to join TICE.news.
The objectives and goals I have set for this new sojourn are continuance from my previous roles, just the scope and coverage has increased. Actually I am increasing the length and breadth of it myself. In a new post will share the newly set goals and vision as Chief Mentor & TICE.
I look forward to the countless opportunities this role will bring to influence the lives of others. Wish me luck. Cheers.
