I help biotech/medtech startups and academic labs win government and international research funding - from identifying the right call to submitting a fundable proposal.
Track record: Supported stakeholders in securing ₹20+ Crore in government funding. PhD + M.Tech, Biosciences & Bioengineering, IIT Kanpur. 15+ peer-reviewed publications, multiple granted patents. Direct ecosystem experience.
Why it matters: Most Indian biomedical proposals fail not on science, but on fit - wrong scheme, unclear TRL, weak translational narrative, or missed deadlines. I fix that.
What I solve for:
Missed funding calls - proactive identification and matching to BIRAC, DBT, DST, ANRF, RDIF, PRIP, SMDI, Startup India, CSR, and international schemes (NIH, Horizon Europe, Gates Foundation),and Private funding schemes.
TRL mismatch - mapping technology stage to funding ask credibly
Weak narrative - ranslating "good science" into fundable, reviewer-ready language
Regulatory blind spots - building CDSCO pathway awareness into the proposal where funders expect it
IP framing - positioning existing/planned patents for maximum credibility
Budget realism -milestone and budget structuring aligned to Indian reporting norms
