Greetings, Earthlings! I'm Ashwin Venugopalan, your friendly neighborhood business whiz and a wannabe master of all things entrepreneurial. As the illustrious Chairman and CEO of DNA Beyond Barriers, I've been busy breaking barriers (and occasionally breaking a sweat) since way back in 2003. Our mission? To conquer industries faster than you can say "SaaS!"
With a career spanning more years than I care to count (or admit), I've learned a thing or two about the corporate hustle. From Fortune 100 giants to startup shenanigans, I've seen it all—and survived with my sense of humor intact (mostly). They say laughter is the best medicine, but a solid investment portfolio comes in a close second!
I recently joined the eclectic crew over at Interstitial Media as a Board Director extraordinaire. When I'm not busy dispensing sage advice and cracking jokes in the boardroom, you can find me perfecting my comedic timing and brushing up on the latest market trends (because nothing pairs better with a good punchline than a profitable investment strategy).
And as if my plate wasn't already full enough, I also proudly hold the title of CEO at Chalo Safari, where our mission is nothing short of uniting India and the world through the magic of culture, heritage, and history. With our trusty partners at the Archaeological Survey of India by our side, we're on a mission to showcase the wonders of our nation to the globe and remind everyone of the treasures we must protect and cherish for all eternity. From ancient artifacts to hidden gems, we're here to make sure India's story is told—and heard—loud and clear, resonating across borders and cultures. And of course since Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam, we will do this for the whole world. If it’s important to you, it’s important to us
I am an economist by training and a marketer by profession for three decades. After sequentially occupying every seat at the table where marketing choices are made across ten different organizations, I stepped out of the corporate world to make more time for life; while working on ideas I like, with people whose company I enjoy.

I am an economist by training and a marketer by profession for three decades. After sequentially occupying every seat at the table where marketing choices are made across ten different organizations, I stepped out of the corporate world to make more time for life; while working on ideas I like, with people whose company I enjoy.
My professional restlessness coupled with some good luck has led me into some challenging assignments, in organizations desperate for growth at the time; brought me in touch with some great leaders; offered me some unique insights into consumers and their relationship with brands and advertising at a time when the world around us has been changing at a never-before pace. It also helped me develop a unique perspective, a bespoke definition, and a framework to pursue the role of marketing in an organization.
My unique strength lies in unearthing fresh consumer insight; identifying the brand or organization’s sustainable “right-to-win” and creating clutter-breaking strategies by pairing these up. Currently, I am involved in applying and honing these skills for a few start-ups in sectors I am passionate about.
