As a Startup Engagement Manager at National Incubation Center (NIC), Hyderabad, I lead initiatives that nurture early-stage ventures and foster collaboration across universities, incubators, and industry leaders.
My journey began in education, where I designed future-ready curricula and introduced leadership programs. Today, I blend academic expertise with hands-on entrepreneurial guidance, mentoring startups in business validation, pitch development, and market alignment.
I believe education should spark ventures, solve problems, and build futures. My mission is to connect the dots between classrooms and boardrooms — transforming students into innovators and ideas into impact.
