SELECTED ENGAGEMENTS
lemma
/ˈlɛmə/ · n.
An auxiliary proposition used as a crucial stepping stone to a larger, more significant result.
Every significant result rests on a lemma - the decisive insight that makes everything after it flow.
Most execution failures are insight failures in disguise: a missing lemma, dressed up as a delivery problem.
AT LEMMA ADVISORS, WE RELENTLESSLY PURSUE FOUNDATIONAL CLARITY.
We find the leverage point in your problem, then engineer the precise steps that make the outcome inevitable.
PARTNER-GRADE PROBLEM SOLVING, AI-NATIVE BY DESIGN.
Operating at velocities legacy consulting cannot match, with depth it rarely reaches.
Strategy that holds up to scrutiny. Built to execute, not to present.
Areas of Collaboration & Impact.

I'm Akash. Chemical Engineer from IIT Bombay and MBA from London Business School. I have worked in organizations of all sizes (2 – 100,000) while living in 7 countries across Asia, Europe, Africa and North America.
I like to challenge myself continuously - throughout my career, I have seen every role and project as an opportunity to learn, contribute and grow — I learnt execution at scale at Shell, structured problem solving, and investment dynamics at EGM. Last year I co-founded AMOGHA AI and launched JAMUN — a conversational AI tool for mental health & therapy. This start-up journey taught me the tool-kit to build AI native products and businesses.
