Asit’s expertise in 0 to 1 product development and growth scaling is unmatched. He currently leads a new product line at Flexport, a company that has been named TIME’s Most Influential Companies of 2022, and a CNBC Disruptor Company. Asit has advised CEOs of publicly listed companies, industry association leaders, and C-level executives, helping to turn around businesses and consult startups on creating new products and business lines in India. Additionally, he co-founded an e-commerce company that scaled the business 4x year on year in 3 years while setting up strategic partnerships with firms across India and China. Asit also led multimillion-dollar M&A integrations and launched new innovative products, leading the growth strategy for a $100+ million business catering to 3,500+ businesses in the US.
