I am an entrepreneur who has taken multiple companies from the drawing board to revenue. I have also served as an advisor, board member and consultant to numerous companies (both Start-ups (Board Member, Advisor) and Fortune 500 Tech (Consultant)) on Strategy, Sales Operations, Channel Building and Product Management. My interests are in businesses that revolve around aggregating smaller similar looking units, businesses which can get more valuable not by attracting customers but by what customers 'leave behind' and businesses which can make the lives of individuals, families and communities more enriching. I advise numerous start-ups and what limits my interaction is not the ability of the company to pay me / for me to make money on the company (I do many assignments for Good Karma) but more often that the business prospects or goals don't excite me. I also run HomestaysDOS.com - India's largest directory of Holiday Homes and Vacation Properties. Visit it to plan your next vacation.
Getting in Touch with me
The best way - Email Me on roshan.dsilva @ google's email service
- I generally prefer using skype or a phone call instead of meeting face to face for the first meeting
- If I give you time, ensure you are on time as I will not delay other meetings or conf. calls for Late Latifs!!
- I am a man of action and prefer to act/contribute immediately instead of leaving it for the next day. Hence please use email to brief me in advance so I can do what you want me to do when you speak to me instead of leaving it for later.
- I like introducing good people to each other and do not feel such introductions should be done for profit. Please feel free to ask me for an introduction to someone you feel I may know. As long as I feel you are a good guy, will do it!! However, don't push if I decline. It will save me the hassle of being direct with you. Again, money will not influence me or motivate me to make an introduction that I don't want to do.
