Aseem Mishra, Co-Founder & CEO, Prantae Solutions Private Limited
Over the past decade in various roles in the academia, industry and techbased business incubators have led me to gather deep technological understanding in various disciplines like novel peptide design, device design for single molecule sensitive spectroscopy, Quantitative optical microscopy and high resolution Electron microscopy of soft matter and cells. I have had the opportunity of putting together small yet an extremely agile team of people with high IQ (and associated personality traits) and deliver outcomes that were not possible in the then work settings. I also tend to be less interested in immediate goals and willing to put in my earnest efforts to futuristic and high-value endeavors
