As the Chief Operating Officer at Enterprise Nation, the UK's largest small business community, we lead the charge in creating a dynamic two-sided marketplace that seamlessly connects small businesses with the support they need to thrive.&nbsp;
My passion for design, technology, and innovation drives our mission to revolutionise the business support landscape, making it more accessible, efficient, and impactful for entrepreneurs at every stage of their journey.
Every day, our team is dedicated to empowering start-ups and small businesses by providing timely and tailored resources that foster growth and success. We believe in the power of community and the importance of delivering the right support at the right moment.
I’m always eager to discuss how we can further enhance the Enterprise Nation platform and better serve the small business community. If you have any questions or ideas on how we can support your business, please don’t hesitate to reach out. Let’s work together to help small businesses succeed.&nbsp;
 When I'm not building a marketplace I'm also the founder of Girls in movement, a not for profit that educates young girls in India - we have recently hit over 20,000 downloads on the podcast and launched an online store this year.
I've also just launched a Children's book called The Girl and Her Globe, so feel free to take a look: www.girlsinmovement.com

Designed by entrepreneurs for entrepreneurs, it’s built around taking action and ensuring consistent follow-up while nurturing key business relationships.

Serial entrepreneur and innovation director across multiple verticals, with a technology and sector agnostic approach to consulting. Currently consulting to various ventures ie Medtech, CPG, FMCG, Fintech, Adtech, HeathTech etc

Having been deeply immersed in the Startup / SME EcoSystem for approximately 25 years, in 2 distinct sectors and countries with various business models. Providing both product / services for b2b and b2b segments has allowed me to gain a solid amount of diverse knowledge and understanding.
This entrepreneurial experience also allowed to gain insights of the innovation value chain and operational requirements of building / scaling ventures, for product market fit. The critical component of fundraising through various mechanisms, is an area that I understand well, having bootstrapped businesses and then raised circa 3m Euros across angel, Venture Capital and the European Development Fund (EDF).
The full spectrum of the fund-raising process was arguably the most challenging aspect of venture building for a multitude of reasons and it was a definite grind to get it done. Learning to dealing with brutal reality was a crucial part of success and helped test / fortify my resilience and growth mindset.
The last venture Zveetz had a regenerative aspect with a mission to make a dent against sugar pollution and its consequences to people and planet. Working cross functionally with a stellar team of individuals including food and behavioural scientists to deliver an impactful value proposition was highly rewarding. The business model was multifaceted with transactional, subscription and asymmetrical revenue streams. We were able to move the needle on sugar reduction and enabled people to be more sugar smart, thereby hitting multiple impact and revenue KPI’s.
Previously to that, I had the privilege of deep diving into the world of AI, machine learning &amp; ontologies to build a recommendation engine SaaS for the e-commerce sector, although there were multiple future use cases for the technology. This immersion and venture was very challenging for multiple reasons but ultimately the outcomes were net positive, so the juice was worth the squeeze.
hankfully, I have been able to transition into the role of an Innovation Director and apply skills / experience to provide consultation across the Oxford Innovation ecosystem to various stakeholders.&nbsp;
<ul>
<li>Performed 96 one to one business support sessions and workshops for students, faculty, startup and SMEs teams.</li>
<li>Consulting with the KTP (Knowledge Transfer Partnerships) department to revamping program offering and positioning to meet desired Research Excellence Framework (REF 29) standards.</li>

<li>Working with the AI Research group within the University to develop their strategic roadmap.</li>
<li>Supporting the establishment of “Managementfest”, a student led innovation &amp; entrepreneurship conference and accelerator programme at BNU.</li>
<li>Regularly meeting with the university leadership committee to report all innovation initiatives and results.</li>
