About Avinash

Independent consultant with 14+ years of experience.

I have a unique mix of consulting (Strategy&) and operating experience being a two-time founder with successful startup exits. As a consultant, I have worked on large scale transformation projects across $100b+ enterprises. Further, I have supported multiple private equity due-diligence engagements.

As a two-time startup founder, I have started, scaled and exited businesses across AI, Financial Services and Consumer Internet. I have led 200+ people teams, raised more than $50million from top tier VCs and have built companies in Student Lending (Credenc) and eCommerce (BuyingIQ), both of which had successful exits. Previously, I led Auto Lending and Growth at Cardekho (~$2 Bn Digital Auto Platform).
