Thereafter he spent 8 years in the aerospace industry, four years each for Lockheed Martin and Hughes, running their satellite systems in Asia.

He then founded Guardian Pharmacy in India in 2003 and grew it to the second largest pharmacy chain in India. He also brought in GNC as a partner to India. Ashutosh exited from the company he founded in August 2016.

Ashutosh served as a director of GAVI, The Vaccine Alliance (www.gavi.org), headquartered in Geneva, for 8 years. He was the Chairman of “Bizdome”, a Startup Incubator of the Indian Institute of Management, Rohtak.

Every startup entrepreneur who has a dream believes that he has an excellent idea and that raising money should not be a problem. Yet I have seen that getting adequate money to sustain a project is possibly the single most important challenge faced by any entrepreneur.
