About

A builder first. An advisor second.

I don't sell strategy. I sell pattern recognition — from twenty years of actually doing it.

Naqheeb Bandukwala
01 — Biography

I'm a sales and marketing professional with twenty-plus years across consumer goods and telecommunications — and an entrepreneur who has co-founded three businesses across apparel, retail and real estate.

For the last several years I've also operated as an angel investor and startup mentor, with a portfolio of ten companies and two exits to date. That dual seat — operator and investor — is where I'm most useful to other founders.

I'm based in Belgaum, Karnataka. I work with founders and operating teams across India and the diaspora, usually in short, intensive engagements focused on one bottleneck at a time.
