About Me

I am Chirantan Banik, currently part of the Founder's Office at HealBridge, a B2C tech-enabled healthcare startup. My work exists at the intersection of business strategy, operational scaling, and financial rigor.

In parallel to my startup experience, I have been an active public market investor for the past four years. This has deeply shaped my consulting philosophy: I evaluate early-stage companies with the same harsh, fundamental scrutiny applied to public equities. It’s not just about growth; it’s about unit economics, sustainable margins, and clear pathways to profitability.

I hold a B.Tech in CSE from Sikkim Manipal Institute of Technology (2020-2024), bringing technical competence to traditional business consulting.
