Ishan joined the Investment Team at Athera after ~6 years of experience across strategy consulting, operations and project management.
Experience
Prior to Athera, Ishan was a Consultant at Bain & Company. During his ~3 years at Bain, he solved for strategic C-suite objectives across problem statements spanning growth, competitive advantage, customer experience, go-to-market, performance improvement, post-merger integrations and new product development. Ishan’s work was focused deeply on Consumer Products, Retail and Digital Insurgents; with additional generalist exposure to Pharma and Auto sectors. Prior to Bain, Ishan was in a Project Management role in the Energy sector for Technip Energies, working towards delivering large-scale, turnkey design-to-commissioning projects in the Refineries and LNG domains (with a focus on Hydrogen). In this operations-heavy role, Ishan was working with large, cross-functional, cross-cultural task forces across the end-to-end project lifecycle. Ishan also briefly served a short but very fulfilling strategy stint in Fashion retail with ABFRL.
