Founder and CEO, QuaQua

A consultant by karma and an entrepreneur by nature, his passion for work and life has guided Purav through his 18+ years of professional career.

His love for 3Ts - Travel, TV and Technology led him to set up QuaQua.com, his long-time dream. QuaQua is world’s first virtual travel platform that curates and integrates the best content, meta-information, personalized bookings and community for every Point of Interest around the world leveraging 360/VR/AR/XR.

Just like his choice of movies, Purav’s professional journey has been an eclectic mix of working from analyst to leadership roles for Top 4 consulting and technology firms, BPOs and VCs. He’s lead engagements in M&A space with deals worth over $10bn, and lead consulting projects worth over $3 bn in value. He’s successfully exited three of his start-ups, most recent one at 6x valuation within 12 months.

While accumulating fly miles, he’s been advising Fortune 1000 companies on strategy, digitalization, post-merger synergies, product innovation, business turnaround, process efficiencies, technology-business alignment and strategic sourcing.

While he is always ready to convince fellow entrepreneurs to ‘riding on current innovation’, he does have several patents to his name in process and technology space. He has been involved in supporting development and review of process frameworks including e-SCM and PMP. He is regularly seen playing the role of a mentor or often on the the stage at colleges, universities and events talking about “passionpreneurship”, thought leadership, innovation, design thinking amongst other topics of interest.

He has achieved his Masters in IT from Griffith University, Australia. He holds a Bachelors in Computer Science from Sardar Patel University, from his home state Gujarat, India.

A musicophile, a movie/TV connoisseur, a part time poet with pen name ‘Muntazir’, sporadic reader and an ever ready traveller; love for life is what drives Purav and he truly believes in “love what you do and do what you love”. He is a keen proponent of the Army cause and extremely vocal in favour of women empowerment in various forums. His heart is India.
