Board & Executive Advisory
Technology and AI are increasingly board-level concerns — not only for their strategic upside, but for the operational, regulatory, and accountability risks they introduce. Gaurav brings executive-level perspective across four areas:
​
AI Strategy & Governance — identifying where AI creates durable business value, and where governance boundaries are required before deployment.
​
Technology & Digital Transformation — balancing modernization speed with reliability and investment discipline, at both enterprise and startup scale.
​
Engineering & Organizational Leadership — building and scaling technical organizations, including leading 100+ member teams across matrixed environments at Amazon.
​
Early-Stage & Startup Advisory — applying enterprise-grade rigor to early-stage growth, technical roadmap, and funding strategy.
Current Advisory Engagement

Gaurav advises TextureTouch Style Lounge, an early-stage retail brand, on growth strategy, technical roadmap, and startup funding strategy — including registration on the Startup India portal and active grant applications.
