Avi’s upbringing in a privileged environment in India, combined with his deep exposure to the pervasive issues of poverty, has profoundly influenced his worldview. This unique perspective has driven his unwavering commitment to making a global impact, compelling him to harness his skills and resources to address critical challenges.

Avi’s professional journey began in his family’s manufacturing facilities in India, where he quickly gained a diverse and hands-on experience. As a plant manager, he spearheaded the assembly of combine harvesters and tractors while overseeing hand pump installation for community drinking water. This practical experience solidified his technical expertise and established his reputation for competence and leadership.

In 1998, Avi founded The Idea Machine in New Delhi, a pioneering business transformation consulting firm. The firm leverages advanced software for creative problem-solving, dynamic simulation for manufacturing optimization, and decision trees for in-depth cause-and-effect analysis, setting new industry standards.

In 2008, Avi relocated to the U.S. and joined Hewlett Packard, where he initially specialized in SAP ERP software. Over the past 25 years, he has partnered with a host of multinational corporations across the U.S., Canada, U.K., Singapore, and Thailand, including GMAC, Raytheon, ConocoPhillips, Unilever, AIG, K-Swiss, Dolby Labs, NYPA, TransAlta, PTTEP, Toyota, and others. His extensive experience has cemented his trusted advisor and thought leader status.

Combining over 40 years of professional experience with continuous intellectual growth, Avi developed IdeaGens, the world’s first comprehensive platform for understanding and solving complex problems. Scheduled for launch in September 2024, IdeaGens is a testament to Avi’s dedication to leveraging creativity and technology to drive impactful global solutions, fostering a more optimistic and innovative future.
