Hi there, I’m Anant.
I’ve spent time in New Delhi, San Francisco, New York and most recently, Toronto. My experiences in these cities are tied together by a deep-rooted passion in people, technology and culture, especially in today’s changing world.
My time in these cities has allowed me to evolve into a international growth and innovation strategist. I’ve worked with teams around the world, enabling the understanding of technology and how it is going to change the way we live our lives.
Over the past few years, I’ve had the opportunity to gain a deeper perspective of how people approach change, either within organizations or as individuals. Especially when that change is caused by technology weaving itself into our everyday lives.
I’ve been fortunate enough to help companies, ranging from start-ups to Fortune 500s, make better business decisions to achieve their goals and objectives. These decisions include innovation and ideation, sales and partnerships as well as product development. Take a peek at my LinkedIn to get to know my professional side better.
I hold a Master of Management Innovation & Entrepreneurship at Queen’s University and have also graduated with a Master’s degree in International Marketing from the Hult International Business School in San Francisco. These two degrees, combined with my experience, allow me to understand how to execute user-centric product design while formulating marketing campaigns aligning brands with the unstated needs of their target market.
Innov8 Growth is a content platform to bring together passionate, like-minded people, interested in tracking global innovation and start-up trends. I’m hopeful that start-up teams and corporate innovation teams alike will find my content worth a read.
Outside of work, I’m an avid car enthusiast, which translated into an entrepreneurial venture in the automotive space. This passion also led to my participation in the Raid de Himalaya and Maruti Suzuki AutoCross - both automotive events attracting some of the best racing drivers in India.
San Francisco captured my fondness for bicycling, New York taught me the value of a hungry desire for success and Toronto has taught me how to survive perhaps the harshest winters I’ve ever endured!
