Speaking & collaboration
I speak rarely. When I do, it’s about something I’ve actually built.
No keynote-as-marketing. No sponsored panels. The shortlist below is what I’m open to — and right under it, what I’m not.
Past
People ROI: What human capital actually returns.
Guest Lecture · Jindal Global Business School · 2026
A 15-slide working session on measuring the return of human capital using BoSS workflow data, module-level adoption, and a live ROI calculation walked through with the room. JGBS is also where I did my Global MBA in 2024 — this was a return.

Open to
Where I show up.
Senior-led, working-session formats. Audiences who’ve been in the room with the problem.
01
Academic collaborations.
AI adoption, decision intelligence, and ERP transformation in Indian MSMEs. Co-authorship and case-study development welcome.
02
Guest sessions and lectures.
Business schools where the audience is operators, not spectators. Working sessions, not keynote-as-marketing.
03
Selected consulting engagements.
When the actual question is how to make a business work better — not how to add an AI layer to a deck.
04
Founder-to-founder conversations.
Product, ecosystem, and the long unglamorous middle of building.
05
Industry collaboration with CAs and CS firms.
Practice modernisation, BoSS adoption, Tax Sahayogi pilots. Senior partners only.
Not interested in
Where I don’t.
- ×Keynote-as-marketing.
- ×Sponsored thought-leadership panels.
- ×Generic 'AI strategy' gigs.
- ×Anything that asks me to claim certifications or qualifications I don't hold.
The last point is intentional and visible — it signals something better than any badge would.
