Aditya Mishra’s Summary

My career has spanned several roles across the interface between technology and business.

My first role was as an M&A/strategic investments specialist for TCS where I gained transaction perspectives across IT Services, consulting, engineering services, BPO, Call center, embedded systems, telecom software etc across Asia, Europe and US.

In addition, I reported directly to the CEO with diverse responsibilities including liaison with VCs and start-ups worldwide. This quickly developed into a full time corporate development role of accessing new technology with start-ups through alliance formation and developing new services around it. This created a new node in the TCS Co-Innovation Network (COIN).

For a brief period, I also managed the Corporate Technology Office of TCS and also took on marketing responsibilities.

I became the first EIR for TCS and developed multiple IPR based businesses in the mobile area. One of these was for TSP market while the other was consumer facing.

Subsequently, I was on deputation to CRL where I sold supercomputing services in India and in Europe. In addition, I developed a team and processes for scaling up.

My current role involves selling to some of the strategic bank accounts in India.

I enjoy combining the technology and business perspectives. I've had the good fortune of extending this to advising new technology businesses within the Tata group and to several start-ups.

I find community building very interesting. My past efforts in this area have included BarCamps in Mumbai and Bangalore and Mobile Monday in Mumbai. The current efforts are for Headstart and for IIM Bangalore Alumni Association.
