#TheLinkedInGuru is not a real company.

Sometimes when I have introduced myself as #TheLinkedInGuru (Teacher) I have jokingly said that GURU stands for "General Understanding, Relatively Useless". Well, I believe GURU stands for "Gets to Uncover the Real Usefulness" instead.

Since I retired at the end of 2007, my focus has been volunteering and devoting my time to being a Professional Networker / LinkedIn Guru (Teacher), teaching Networking and LinkedIn and I have trained thousands of professionals in how to maximize their networking skills and best utilize networking tools.

Networking is the life-blood that feeds the process of building relationships. Networking is important in all aspects of our lives. I believe that LinkedIn is one of the best tools available to help you find the right people, connect with them and build long-term relationships. That's what I do and that's what I can help you do.

★★ As a Professional Networker and LinkedIn Guru, I have provided nearly 200 free LinkedIn workshops in the last three years. ★★

I'm excited about being able to contribute to the community in so many different areas!

This group is in support of the #DecidetobeKind movement by Shelly Elsliger to ensure that LinkedIn remains a safe and prosperous place for everyone who wants to own space on LinkedIn to tell their story.  This is a movement made up of movers, shakers, and influencers banning together to build community and to do all we can to increase awareness around the trolls and bullies who want to exert power and manipulate people on the LinkedIn platform. This community is worldwide and together we will make it better-Our voices will be heard and we are ultimately #Inittogether

Let's come together and wear our wristbands to show that we are #inittogether and we say "NO" to bullying on LinkedIn

Building VYNA 🧠 Tech That Feels | AI + AR/VR + Neurosensory for Loneliness & Stress | Reimagining Mental Wellness → Empathy + Human-Centered Innovation | Let’s Connect ↓

Everyone talks about scaling tech. Few talk about healing minds.
I chose to do both.
I’m channelling my energy into solving one of India’s most urgent challenges: mental health.
I’m building the future of mental health tech with three incredible co-founders — proud to be a 50:50 male-female founding team.

I draw my inspiration from 20+ years of leading global sales, P&L, GTM, and digital transformation across SaaS, AI/ML, AR/VR, IoT, and Industry 4.0 — where I drove $100M+ in revenue, built high-performing teams, and turned around complex portfolios..

⚡ From Scaling Businesses to Healing Minds.

For two decades, I helped enterprises grow — driving complex tech adoption, turning around portfolios, and solving tough problems with data, systems, and empathy.
Then COVID hit. I paused, and what I saw changed everything: 200M+ people in India silently struggling with stress, anxiety, and loneliness… with fewer than 10,000 practising therapists to support them.

That’s when the TranquilMind idea was born.

💙 Building TranquilMind: Mental Health Tech with Soul.
We’re building VYNA™ — the world’s first end-to-end mental health system designed for scale.

India faces a silent crisis: 200M+ people struggle with stress, anxiety, and depression — with fewer than 10,000 practising therapists. Most solutions are fragmented or reactive.

VYNA™ changes that.
It’s a neurosensory, AI-native platform that detects emotional dysregulation before crisis hits and delivers adaptive, personalised care at scale.

🧠 Core stack:
Multi-sensor wearables (EEG, ECG, HRV, GSR, EMG) for real-time emotion detection
Emotion-aware AI powering personalised care pathways
Immersive AR/VR therapy, therapist dashboard, and regulatory-ready Mental Health EHR

Not just an app — a hardware + software + AI ecosystem.
We’re uniting diagnostics, therapy, human-in-the-loop care, and immersive environments — to build the default mental health infrastructure for the next billion users.

📩 Let’s Talk
If you’re an investor, healthtech leader, journalist, or builder exploring the mental health space — I’d love to connect.
📆 Book time with me: zcal.co/jayant-ghosh
📩 Mention “TranquilMind” in your request.

Superpowers: Tech + storytelling | Building teams | Leading through empathy
Reset buttons: Cooking, off-roading, Formula 1
Tattoos: My values, inked

Business Solutions Consultant

Digital Technologies are what I love and am extremely passionate about. My playground is Manufacturing, Logistics & Supply Chain, Retail, Construction, Automotive, and BFSI. Emerging technologies need multiple rounds of discussion with multiple stakeholders AKA buying team. The ideal way to connect and be relevant is only through Storytelling. This approach opens door to relevant communication and ensures every discussion is actional at both ends.
🟦 A start-up born on emerging technologies solutions. Managing Strategic Partnerships (10+), leading business planning, and defining digital marketing strategies to increase awareness by 20-30% MoM with the right marketing communications.
🟦 Customer-facing, managing stakeholders and relationship management is my value-based sale approach. Maintaining a healthy funnel and driving revenue of USD 2.5M (₹ 200M) for new business development.
🟦 Closed a deal of Value INR 100 Cr ($14 M) to enhance the experience and help a retailer to merge O2O.
🟦 Instrumented, ideated, and conceptualized solutions around AR and RPA to increase business by 25% leading to revenue of 100 K USD in 9 months. 

The solution I am in - is IoT, Industry 4.0, Predictive / Condition Monitoring & Maintenance, AR Smart Glass and Solution, Retail Shelf Management, Engineering Document management, RPA, Hyperautomation, and Asset Visibility that is offered under the customer-preferred option and model.
