Hubtric Manufacturing Pvt. Ltd.

Strategic Advisor

Having built the company from the ground up, I now advise the leadership team on strategy, investment, and expansion — bringing both the strategic view and the operational detail to every conversation.

Hubtric Manufacturing Pvt. Ltd.
India / Remote
Co-Founder & Managing Director

After my co-founder exited, I took full ownership — scaling the business from 4 to 40 people and building a hybrid model combining in-house production with a curated supplier network. I sat on both sides of the table, and it changed how I think about every make-or-buy decision.

  • Established in-house manufacturing across CNC machining, fabrication, and assemblies.
  • Built a supplier network to handle what we couldn't or shouldn't make ourselves.
  • 35% improvement in operational efficiency through process standardisation.
