Background

About Manav Goel

I’m a strategy-driven investment and business consultant with experience spanning consulting, high-growth startups, and founder-led businesses. My work sits at the intersection of investment analysis, business scaling, and execution, helping companies move from opportunity to outcomes.I’ve evaluated 250+ startups and SMEs across fundraising, M&A, and profitability mandates, and have hands-on experience scaling a hospitality business from 2 to 6 properties in under 8 months through data-driven expansion strategy, financial modeling, and capital allocation. I work closely with founders and leadership teams, translating market insight and financial analysis into clear, executable decisions.Investment, Strategy & ExecutionMy core strengths include financial modeling, unit economics, ROI and feasibility analysis, investor communication, and pitch deck creation. I’ve supported investment diligence, led investor updates, and built long-term projections that guide growth strategy and capital deployment—skills critical in PE, VC, and growth equity environments.FMCG, D2C & Operating ContextWith a background rooted in FMCG distribution and small finance, I bring 6+ years of hands-on exposure to B2C sales, pricing strategy, and distribution networks. This operating perspective allows me to evaluate businesses beyond spreadsheets—understanding go-to-market realities, scalability constraints, and execution risk.Startup & Founder EcosystemHaving worked closely with startups, founders, and investors, I understand the realities of scaling, fundraising, and building signal in crowded markets. My foundation in equity research and financial analysis enables me to identify high-growth opportunities and design strategies that are both ambitious and grounded.I thrive in fast-paced, high-ownership environments where structured thinking, clear communication, and bias toward action matter. I’m keen to contribute to international, PE/VC-backed, or strategy-led roles where rigorous analysis meets real-world execution.manav.goel1001@gmail.com
