“Techpreneurs in Conversation” (TIC) is a series where I sit down for a web-app enabled conversation with Tech Entrepreneurs, Investors and Ideators from across the world. The idea is to use this forced downtime that many of us are in to truly hear from one another on the Techpreneurship journey, significant learnings on the way; it is to inspire those who are still toying with the idea of Tech Entrepreneurship; and to embolden those who are already somewhere on this life path. 
In the first of the series, I caught up with Avelo Roy - a tech entrepreneur, investor, 4 times TEDx speaker & TV Host, who started his first company at the age of 19 and built it to a million dollar valuation by the age of 22 and thereafter established the Krishna House, Krishna Lunch and Krishna talk projects in Chicago for spreading the wisdom of Bhagavad Gita while continuing to build businesses in the US & India with multi-million dollars worth of products and services ranging from consumer electronics, artificial Intelligence systems, healthcare process automation, food science, wireless communications, wearable technology and graphical password applications. His mentorship through Kolkata Ventures in the past 3 years has resulted in 400+ revenue generating startups, 2 exits & 10 cr in funds raised. 

In this episode we get to know Avelo Roy, his tremendous work around bridging the worlds of Technology and Philosophy, the story of that one pivotal moment in his journey and what he'd like to share with Techpreneurs who are new in the game or those yet to take the leap into Entrepreneurship. 

Overall, this was a fantastic, deep and insightful conversation that is energizing and a great thought starter. Check out www.aveloroy.com to know more about Avelo and his tremendous body of work.
