Nitin Agarwal
Network Manager, Stanford Institute for Innovation in Developing Economies (SEED)
BioHere’s a little about my journey so far:
I started my career with Continental Engines in exports and operations, followed by roles in strategic consulting at Feedback Consulting and marketing operations with indiamarkets.com and siliconindia. In 2003, I transitioned to banking, holding leadership positions at ICICI Bank and YES Bank in branch operations, customer service, and investment sales.
In 2007, I shifted toward entrepreneurship with TiE Delhi-NCR, where I’ve spent the last 17 years supporting startups and founders, building mentoring programs, and leading networking events across various sectors. I enjoy working closely with entrepreneurs to foster growth and create meaningful connections.
On the personal front, I’m happily married, and my wife and I have a 12-year-old son who keeps us on our toes! As a family, we love exploring new places and spending time together. Outside of work, I’m passionate about mentorship and entrepreneurship, always looking for ways to give back to the community. -
