Ashish Nangare brings a unique blend of technology, storytelling, and social impact, shaped by his engineering foundation and post-graduation in telecom management. As a Management Consultant, he bridges innovation with real-world application, having authored multiple research papers on topics such as Blockchain in Telecom and IoT in Healthcare, presented at national and international forums.
Ashish is also a storytelling photographer, using visual narratives to drive awareness. His projects—like Happy Afghanistan, which highlights Afghan art and culture, and Project Shourya, which honors the unsung heroes of the Indian Army—reflect his deep commitment to telling human stories through the lens of art, poetry, and music.
At the Pune Hub, Ashish co-led Project Zero Waste, where he designed a self-sustainable framework for educational institutes to adopt zero-waste practices. The pilot has reached 5000+ students, delivered 50+ awareness sessions, and diverted 27,000 kg of waste from landfills, with 2,000 kg of wet waste converted into compost. The project runs on zero funding, relying purely on strategic partnerships and volunteer engagement.
He also explores AI-driven telecom solutions for sustainability and digital inclusion, especially in underconnected regions like Papua New Guinea and Southeast Africa, aligning with his vision to bridge the digital divide and build resilient, tech-enabled communities.
