ABOUT OCTAGON
FOUNDERS PROFILE
Sukant Mishra is the founder of Octagon International, which came into existence in 2005 and is one of the fastest growing amongst IT distributors in the region – moving from a two-member team to a US$100 million company in 5 years. Today, Octagon commands high brand equity, which allowed Sukant to successful sell off majority stakes to a consortium of private equity investors.
Sukant has formidable competency in the areas of strategic business planning, organizational design development and operational and financial turnaround and has had an illustrious 19-year career that has taken him across India, Europe, Middle East and Africa. His personal brand is now a force to reckon with, especially in the realms of IT and market dynamics.
Sukant – a start-up specialist, keeps himself connected and sharp by spending time mentoring students as a visiting faculty in several premium colleges – his quote to go by ‘Your vibe attracts your tribe!’
Sukant refuses to rest on laurels. He has gained in-depth experience as a start-up specialist in the realms of Commodity Trading and Retail Franchisee setups and an advisor in M&As, IPO, Private Equity and Financing. With his experience, it was only natural for him to launch a dream project in 2013 – Infinity Capital. It is a platform facilitating Trade Finance, Working Capital, Project Finance, Equity Investment and Strategic Partnerships. It also offers mentoring and growth opportunities to companies by leveraging on Sukant’s wide experience.
