About Sourabh Shastri

From a young age, I exhibited a keen curiosity for machinery, often engaging in hands-on experiments with my father\'s tools. This early passion culminated in earning a degree in Mechanical Engineering from the MES College of Engineering at the University of Pune, where I graduated with First Class Distinction. Motivated by a desire to create and innovate, I furthered my education with a management diploma before embarking on an entrepreneurial journey in 2018. In my current role, I continue to merge engineering expertise with entrepreneurial acumen. I serve the power generation industry by implementing green technology solutions while refining my leadership and management skills. Highlights of my career include: • Forging strategic partnerships with prominent international corporations. • Developing and launching the first mobile dual fuel CNG Diesel Generator retrofit solution, successfully introduced between 2020 and 2021. I take pride in fostering professional relationships with individuals from diverse backgrounds and welcome opportunities for connection and collaboration. Key Strengths: • Subject Matter Expertise in Operations and Mechanical Engineering • B2B Business Development • Procurement and Vendor Management • Mechanical Design Proficiency, including advanced CAD software and Finite Element Analysis (FEA)
