After over a decade and a half in the corporate world, Ketaki Karnik decided to take the plunge into the gig zone. She moved from being a pucca corporate professional in blue-chip companies to an entrepreneur and social impact fund advisor. Exhilarating, terrifying, hugely satisfying, crazy, all in equal measure, is how she describes her ride in the gig world. As a policy researcher and strategist for innovative growth models, she closely follows evolving trends in the business environment, including the future of work.

She holds an MBA from the University of Oxford and is passionate about sci-fi and her guitar.
