About Anant Kataria
Anant is a seasoned professional with IP, R&D, entrepreneurial and business operation experience of over 17 years.
Anant co-founded Sagacious in 2008 to provide solutions to companies, law firms as well as other players in IP ecosystem throughout the IP lifecycle.
He strongly believes that a company’s growth is driven by its people and feels blessed to have attracted really great people in the team who are brilliant & as committed to Sagacious’ client’s success as they are to Sagacious.
Since 2008, Sagacious team has served over 2,000 customers with high quality IP solutions. Clients’ trust & repeat business has helped Sagacious grow to a team of over 300 professionals (among the largest in IP solutions industry).
Anant was selected as ‘Young Turk’ & featured on a CNBC TV show with the same name in 2014 and an IAM Strategy300 in 2019. He, Tarun Kumar Bansal and Sagacious team led Sagacious to win Red Herring Asia100 in 2015 & get certified as a Great Place To Work in 2018 as well as 2020.
In his words, “It gives me real ‘kick’ to see the impact our clients have been able to create in their businesses through Sagacious’ services and solutions. We have helped our clients save over $500mn and make over $1,000mn by helping them address challenges they faced in various aspects of the IP life cycle. My intention is to make the possibility of such an impact available to as many people as possible.”
To further this objective in North America, Anant moved to Toronto, Canada in July 2019. He is more actively involved in Sagacious’ North American customer engagements, while he also continues continue to maintain and grow Sagacious along with Tarun.
