Empowering Founders to Forge Scalable Businesses

Prakash Mugali Coach

One right decision at the right time can save years of effort. My mission is to help founders reach that clarity—and act on it.

For founders in deep-tech, manufacturing, and high-stakes execution businesses.

Why Founders Struggle?

Most founders don’t fail from a lack of ideas. They fail from avoidable mistakes—misreading the market, building too much too soon, chasing funding before readiness, or confusing activity with progress.

Replace Guesswork
with Judgment

After two decades of building deep-tech ventures, filing patents, raising capital, and navigating both failures and scale, Dr. Prakash steps in to remove blind spots early.

This is practical, direct mentorship rooted in outcomes, not theory. The focus is mindset and decision quality, not surface-level behaviour change.
