11.November 2024Navya is an exceptional problem solver and a truly attentive listener. In just 45 minutes, she managed to resolve half of the key issues my new startup was facing. What stood out to me even more was her genuine interest and support—she not only resonated with the cause I’m working on, but also took the personal time to connect me with several angel investors and business owners in Deutschland who could support my journey. If you're a startup founder navigating the tough early stages—whether it's business strategy or tech challenges—Navya is absolutely the person you want by your side. Liana

20.August 2024I recently had a session with Navya and was genuinely impressed with how much we accomplished in just one meeting. She provided incredibly valuable advice tailored to my business needs and quickly pinpointed key areas for improvement. One of the most significant challenges we discussed was optimizing our supply chain operations to mitigate disruptions and improve overall efficiency. Navya offered expert guidance on advanced inventory management techniques, including implementing dynamic reordering systems and leveraging data analytics for more accurate demand forecasting. Her insights into integrating technology solutions to streamline procurement processes and reduce lead times were particularly helpful. The support and expertise provided in this single session were truly impactful. Thanks, Navya!
