This experience saw Renuka devising commercial and business strategies, conducting business development with strategic partners and structuring intra-company IP. Thereafter she joined Trax Associates, a company set up by a former Ernst & Young International partner, to develop, test and implement a proprietary branding solution. At Trax, Renuka was primarily involved in managing the R&D process of the Trax Solution.
