Ashim Dash

I lead Digital Transformation and AI at Inventya, an Innovate UK delivery partner, helping innovative businesses adopt AI and build go-to-market engines. Alongside that, I build AI products with a small team and am establishing research-led sustainability programmes between UK and Indian universities.

I work with AI founders, scale-ups and enterprise teams on GTM, partnerships and funding routes, including Innovate UK and grant funding. I have market access across the UK, EU, India and Saudi, and I'm often the person who connects a founder to the right partner, buyer or programme.

Before Inventya, I spent 13 years at TCS, including building co-innovation ecosystems at TCS PACE Port, and was Head of BD at Zoho UK, where I scaled the partner network from 10 to 64. I've generated $3.7M+ in revenue and founded four companies, one of which was acquired.

Known for: partnerships, GTM for AI products, and connecting the right people.
