Uttam Kumar

Consultant in Kolkata, Bengal, India

Engineer turned Management Consultant, the reason WHY i ask a lot of questions.

I joined a fabulous Innovation Strategy and Management Consulting firm - One Billion Minds in 2014, based out of Kolkata, India and luckily found an awe-inspiring mentor to work with. My career has been about gathering diverse experiences. Moving back in time, i earned my first dollar when i was in school :) Yes, ventured a tiny career building center along with two more friends. Thereafter, cultivated and tested my capabilities in multidisciplinary platforms - Business Management Consulting, IT telecom, Online media, Healthcare, Beauty and Fashion, Manufacturing and Non-profits.

I love to be chased by no-win problems, can stay with it for long and come up with a couple of sustainable solutions. I am mostly driven by ideas which can have positive impact on the business - a personal, deeply felt idea which can bring transformation with limited resources (With 0$ marketing budget, why can't it be possible?).

We walk up to all kinds of places in India, collect 100 kids and help them build a hypercool library of their own using just a wall - and so we call this a Wall O Books - equip it with a startup stash of 100 books, a world map, a light bulb and a few more things :) and elect a little librarian to take care of it. So far, we have built 100 Wall O Books in Kolkata.
