Suyash Deshpande

Born and raised in central India, where I also earned few of my best friends and meet some awesome folks. I moved to Hyderabad to take up my first Job with Avaya. Few years later, I found myself in Bangalore - working with a marketing consulting startup. A year later, I gave up my comfort zone and joined Purdue University to follow my passion - Marketing. I am currently working as a Product Manager with one of the retailers in Chicago, IL.

I've helped startups and NGOs to grow and achieve what they dreamed and believed. I've prepared & enabled my clients to successful launch products, build a working revenue model, and assisted them in product pricing, product placements and fundraising activities.

Because of my belief in giving back to the society, you will often see me participating in various philanthropic activities. I not only believe in making this world a better place to live but also believe in inspiring individuals to do the same. In addition to an exciting day job, I chair an NGO and am member of startup advisory committee at Chicago.

I love traveling, exploring new places and meeting new people, playing golf & driving cars.
