Summary
of my journey . . .

Since early 2020, I have been an active volunteer of the Indian fight against covid. I would love to interact with scientists and academicians addressing problem statements in health tech and energy transition that have ‘Nobel award potential’.

From April 2023 onward, I oversee the health and energy transition portfolio of the Rs 21,000 crore Megafund. The Megafund is now India’s largest social impact fund. It is anchored by the PanIIT Fund, a domestic social fund registered with and regulated by SEBI under the AIF Regulations 2012. The āyushća.org project funded by the Megafund is likely to be the first listed bond on the Social Stock Exchange of NSE.

In the past, I have been passionate about building institutions of national importance. I spent three years helping set up and operationalise the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India. I was closely involved in the formation of other institutionalised entities such as BSNL, SEBI and SIDBI. Member of the disinvestment commission and served as operating agency lead for BIFR and revitalisation attempts for large companies that were disrupted in the shift from a “controlled” socialist to a “free market” capitalist economy
