In a nutshell
Am an eternal optimist, an audacious thinker, a creative builder, an impactful storyteller and an organised executor, who gets things done.
Am reachable at ck.adya@adancorporate.com and love public-speaking and writing about topics of the traps of entrepreneurship juxtaposing them with philosophical constructs, deal-structuring, growth and synchronicity. Check my writing (LBS and personal), art (psychedelic), and podcasts (incl. Tony Wheeler - founder of Lonely Planet) sections for more.
Am a deca-lingual, multi-talented zymurgist, who uses the founder's mentality and thrives in uncertainty and chaos,
directing teams through the nebulous "Unknown" in the initial 1-2 years of early-stage ventures and preparing them for growth.
Am an agile-athelete and am driven by data and intuition, complemented by first-hand experience and pain, which helps me spot success
and failure from a mile. Works well with uncertain and ambiguous situations.
Am a lucky husband, and a doting father to two little boys, who have helped me retain the curious child within me.
I go by the hashtag #TheAdventuresOfAdyaDad.
Have lived/worked for 15 years in London, 2 years in India and Dubai, and a year (on and off) in the US, Australia, and Singapore.
My nomadic instincts have led me to 53 countries and taught me 10 languages and dialects.
Am an eclectic value creator for mid-sized firms and PE/VC funds on Fund-raising, M&A, growth, corporate strategy, digital transformation
and deal-making (currently, as co-founder of Adan Corporate).
Am passionate about technology ventures, programme and product management, and building new products across range of sectors,
business models, technologies, and markets. Oh! am still fairly hands-on. e.g., I coded this website.
