For student founders building what’s next
I’m Varun, a management consultant by profession and a long-time advisor to student-led startups. For over 6 years, I’ve worked pro-bono with student entrepreneurs, helping them shape ideas, build traction, and raise early capital. If you're a student founder building something real, I’m here to help you move faster, with clarity and confidence.
About Me
My journey started as the General Secretary of Delhi Technological University’s Entrepreneurship Cell, where I helped budding campus founders bring their ideas to life.
Since then, while working at BCG, I’ve continued to work with student-led and early-stage startups across strategy, growth, collaborations, and investor readiness.
I believe student startups are scrappy, creative, and full of potential. They just need the right nudge. This is my way of giving back to the ecosystem that shaped me.
