## Headline

Building in Food discovery

## About

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\.
