Gayatri Panda is a global entrepreneur, investor, mentor, and innovation strategist with a remarkable track record of scaling five successful tech and consulting ventures across the UK, United US, Europe, Australia, and the USA. As the visionary founder of the Indian Tech Society, she acts as the highly-impactful, inclusive platform that celebrates the contributions of Indian technologists in the UK. The platform provides a powerful ecosystem with key voices in tech, technology, data scientists, engineers, and business and social service. Gayatri has not only launched multiple tech ventures across the UK, India, and Dubai but also continues to scale each venture with VCs, angel investors, and family offices globally. She provides end-to-end support to Indian entrepreneurs in the UK through brand mentorship, community building and hands-on support with access to UK business set-up, funding, and market strategy.

In September 2024, she spearheaded the Indo International Climate and Energy Transition Finance Forum — a landmark event held at the London Stock Exchange and Indian Business School that convened over 100 global investors and visionaries, with the support of cabinet and key Indian government appointees.

She helps global startups navigate the UK market, secure investment, and scale efficiently. She plays an active role in connecting Indian and UK businesses and ecosystems—bridging cultural, regulatory, access to funds, and channel strategy gaps.

An advocate for women in entrepreneurship, Gayatri champions initiatives that uplift women in business and technology and is a sought-after advisor on incubators, policymakers, academia, investors, founders, and boards.

Through her leadership at the Indian Tech Society, she continues to spotlight transformative talent, nurture visionary ideas, and build enduring bridges between the Indian and UK tech ecosystems—where innovation knows no borders.
