SELECTED ENGAGEMENTS
lemma
/ˈlɛmə/ · n.
An auxiliary proposition used as a crucial stepping stone to a larger, more significant result.
Every significant result rests on a lemma - the decisive insight that makes everything after it flow.
Most execution failures are insight failures in disguise: a missing lemma, dressed up as a delivery problem.
AT LEMMA ADVISORS, WE RELENTLESSLY PURSUE FOUNDATIONAL CLARITY.
We find the leverage point in your problem, then engineer the precise steps that make the outcome inevitable.
PARTNER-GRADE PROBLEM SOLVING,
AI-NATIVE BY DESIGN.
Operating at velocities legacy consulting cannot match, with depth it rarely reaches.
Strategy that holds up to scrutiny. Built to execute, not to present.
Areas of Collaboration & Impact.

I'm Akash. Chemical Engineer from IIT Bombay and MBA from London Business School. I have worked in organizations of all sizes (2 – 100,000) while living in 7 countries across Asia, Europe, Africa and North America.
I like to challenge myself continuously - throughout my career, I have seen every role and project as an opportunity to learn, contribute and grow — I learnt execution at scale at Shell, structured problem-solving at McKinsey, and investment dynamics at EGM.
Last year, I co-founded AMOGHA AI and launched JAMUN — India’s first conversational AI app, purpose built for mental health & therapy. This start-up journey taught me the tool-kit to build AI native products and businesses.
Lemma Advisors is the vehicle to deploy the sum total of my learnings and experience from across my career journey. Let's chat about how I can be of help!
