Technology Strategy • Market Intelligence • Advisory
Guanxi Technology Research helps enterprises, growth-stage companies, and financial institutions navigate the AI, semiconductor, and telecom landscapes with conviction — backed by 25+ years of operating, research, and advisory experience.
Why Guanxi
Most consultants come from one world. Our Managing Director, Murali Guntu, has operated across three — spending nearly a decade in semiconductor engineering at ASML, building and leading equity research on Wall Street for top-tier hedge funds, and advising enterprises on corporate strategy and growth across three continents.
The result is an advisory firm that doesn't just understand your technology — it understands how markets value it, how partners evaluate it, and how to position it for long-term competitive advantage.
The word guanxi (关系) describes the deep, trust-based relationships that drive meaningful business outcomes. It is both our name and our operating philosophy.
