Taufiq Mulla

Founder and CEO

About

I am a Mechanical Engineer, Assistant Professor, and Startup Founder with a strong focus on product innovation, manufacturing, and market-driven solutions. With 4.5 years of teaching experience at Ashokrao Mane Group of Institutions, I have mentored students in engineering concepts, practical learning, and project development. Alongside academics, I founded ASAT Automations Pvt. Ltd., where I worked on developing an automated dress pattern cutting machine—gaining hands-on experience in product development, market validation, and business strategy. This combination of teaching and startup experience has helped me build a strong understanding of both technical concepts and real-world applications, especially in manufacturing and B2B environments. I am currently exploring remote opportunities in: • Product Marketing • B2B Marketing • Startup Strategy • Teaching / Mentoring • Consulting I am particularly interested in roles where I can contribute to innovation, growth, and problem-solving, while helping organizations scale their products and impact. I am also open to startup mentoring and consulting assignments, especially in manufacturing, hardware innovation, and MSME-focused solutions. Let’s connect if you are building something impactful or looking for a professional who combines technical expertise, teaching experience, and startup thinking.
