More about Venkata Narra

Hello Friends,

I recently relocated from Australia to Ahmedabad as we embark on our startup journey. I am currently three weeks into our adventure, dedicating our time to assisting in the expansion of a Design Institute owned by Somesh's brother.

Over the past two decades, I've been immersed in corporate IT sales and delivery roles across the US, Europe, and Australia. In my recent two positions, I helped establish and growth of the APAC region for iPaaS startups. In terms of scalability, I successfully nurtured the business from inception to a substantial USD 24 million ARR within six years. My strengths lie in Sales, Process.

I've always maintained a keen interest in Indian startups and their developments. Since here, I've already had the pleasure of meeting a few founders. My specific interests lie in technology related to Waste Management, Agecare, Health & Wellness, and Agriculture.

Some of the Principles I strongly believe in:
- No Individual is smarter than the TEAM.
- Don't get married to the IDEA, Get married to creating something LARGE
- Get the foundation right - Product, Technology and Content
- Business can't be PERSON dependent. It should be PROCESS dependent

My hack to stay sane is Hiking and early morning Gym. I have hiked Kilimanjaro (6000m) and a few peaks in the Himalayas (>5500m) and completed an Oxfam walk (100 km).

I am in discovery mode and would be delighted to meet over coffee or lunch to share ideas and learn from your insights. You can reach me at +91 96012 81687

Regards
VN
