Fresh out of college, Vasant joined ITC Limited, where he quickly made his mark. Starting as an Assistant Manager - Projects, he rapidly advanced to Head of Business Excellence within just two years. This stint at one of India's largest conglomerates gave him invaluable exposure.

In November 2015, Vasant took the entrepreneurial leap and co-founded OfBusiness, where he serves as Chief Strategy Officer. His role involves steering the company's strategic direction as it has grown into a major player in the B2B commerce and fintech ecosystem.
