Ayyan Karmakar - Building TAFCO

Ayyan Karmakar

Building TAFCO

As a results-driven Clean-tech professional with over 13 years of experience, I have a proven track record of leading and innovating within the environmental services and products sector. My journey includes managing products and projects valued at $20 million, consistently delivering exceptional value through operational excellence, strategic planning, and brand building. Currently, I am building TAFCO which solves the problem of reliable filters for HVAC, industrial and domestic purposes.

In my recent role at Praan, I was heading the operations for a VC backed deep-tech startup functioning out of Mumbai. Although a short stint, I could infuse some instrumental changes across multiple dept. (sales to manufacturing). One of noteworthy achievements was to accelerate Praan's industrial sales through its first expo creating 100+ SQLs in just 3 days.

As the Chief Operating Officer at Airvoice (Intelligent CityAir India Pvt. Ltd.), I had successfully established a foundation for operations in India, focusing on market penetration, strategic sales, and operational efficiency. I spearheaded the introduction of Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) and ambient solutions, aligning them with cleantech industry trends to ensure a robust market fit. My efforts have significantly enhanced our industry reach and visibility through presentations at major conferences and summits, generating qualified leads and establishing our thought leadership in the cleantech sector.

Previously, at Oizom Instruments Pvt. Ltd., I played a pivotal role in scaling the company from 100 deployments in 2 countries to over 1500 deployments in 60 countries. My diverse roles included Chief Sales Officer, Chief Marketing Officer, Chief of Staff, and Project Manager, where I led initiatives that transformed our B2B marketing strategy, improved data quality, and drove significant business growth.

I am passionate about creating sustainable solutions and driving innovation in the environmental sector. I thrive in dynamic environments where I can leverage my strategic and operational skills to build high-performing teams and achieve organizational excellence.

Feel free to connect with me to discuss how we can collaborate and drive forward sustainable and innovative solutions in the cleantech industry.

As a person,I am always up for new initiatives and believe in constant learning. When not working, I would be found sipping a coffee and thinking about cricket, Indian politics or a scene from a movie. If in a good mood, I might just be humming a Bollywood song.As a results-driven Clean-tech professional with over 13 years of experience, I have a proven track record of leading and innovating within the environmental services and products sector.

The eChai Effect - In Their Words

"If there’s one phrase that sums up my journey, it’s truly ‘The eChai Effect.’ Six years ago, I simply walked into my first eChai event, not knowing what to expect. The honest conversations, energy, and inspiration from founders and entrepreneurs struck a chord within me. That eChai spark became the catalyst for everything to follow. I proudly say: my entrepreneurship journey started—and keeps evolving—because of eChai. Redicine Medsol’s story is integrally linked to this community. I’ve gained so much, not just as a founder but as a forever volunteer and grateful member of the eChai family. With all my heart, thank you Jatin Bhai and everyone at eChai for shaping, guiding, and supporting my dreams. The eChai Effect will always be a part of my story."

"eChai is playing biggest role in my personal and professional life together. Its a community where i meet like minded people to share idea and learn from their idea. Even while playing cricket i learn something and i implement something new from that learning. Its my entry point for building network in different countries where my base is not established yet. Personally my only fun activity day in a week is eChai cricket and social."

"I attended my first eChai event 3 yrs back, and no one knew me in the market. Over the next three years, eChai didn’t only help me with knowledge or networking, but it gave me an identity from being unknown to now being recognized by a group of inspirational entrepreneurs connected with eChai, who have been gracious enough to acknowledge me and Digipple."
