I’m an investment professional with 11+ years across venture debt, alternative lending, and fintech investing - having evaluated over 1,000+ early-stage SaaS, D2C, and fintech companies across India, the US, and Europe. Currently leading investments and credit at GetVantage, I’ve built a scalable investment platform that’s deployed ₹600 Cr+ with sub-1% NPAs. Previously, at Capchase (London/NYC), I led the expansion into new markets, structuring over $ 250 M in non-dilutive capital for recurring-revenue startups. I’m deeply passionate about building innovative capital products for founders, blending structured finance with venture thinking. My experience sits at the intersection of credit risk, data-driven underwriting, and startup investing, which I now aim to leverage within a venture capital or growth investment platform focused on fintech, SaaS, or embedded finance. Always open to conversations about emerging models of startup financing, venture debt evolution, or new-age venture strategies in India and beyond.
