Srikant is an alumnus of IIT Kanpur and IIM Calcutta.

After many bruises, Srikant finally built two large services ventures. Presently, as board member at several university incubators, Srikant has a ringside view of entrepreneurship. He is also a member of several central and state government bodies for innovation, entrepreneurship and skill development.

He co-lead a task force that created (design to manufacturing) a world-class ventilator during COVID using a radical model for accelerated product development, manufacturing, and go-to-market. He mentors a range of tech & biotech startups at incubators across India.

In his day job, as the Chairman, I3G Advisory Network, he advises CEOs and owners of fast-growing organizations as a hands-on orchestrator of rapid growth. He guides them in incubating new ideas, initiatives and ventures that bring in growth. Healthcare & Education are sectors of special interest to Srikant.
