Ketav Patel

Founder - Wert360, Angel Investor

Ahmedabad

Hi! I juggle different roles. Founder, Angel Investor and Capital Markets Trader.

A tech guy to start with, always had the yearning to shift to business side of things. So right after graduation came the PGDM from IIM Kashipur. Started off as a Banker, then to chemical industries, then to Agriculture and Machinery, from that to Renewable Energy and then to Capital Markets. Currently founder of a tech company, invested in the Tech, Renewable Energy & Chemical Sector and neck deep in Capital Markets. Phew, all this and I am just 32!

I loved my grandparents, among many other reasons, for the stories they told me. Amazing brilliant stories! I couldn't wait for the night to fall to listen to one more story and then be in awe of it for a long long time.

This is probably from where I take inspiration from. We all love stories. And the best of these stories touch our hearts. This is something that I want to do. Build these little awe-inspiring and magnificent bits.

It is to 'create and tell' such great stories "about our brands and about our products". Stories that you, me and everyone can connect with. It is these stories that turn a commodity or a product into something special. It is them which captivate audiences and turn them into loyal customers.

A strong analytical sense coupled with a strong yearning for innovative, out of the box ideas and good written & oral communications has helped me in all of my ventures in life.
