2x founder. AI-native operator. Engineering tomorrow’s AI and GTM at Kalvium.

About

I build what tomorrow needs from AI-driven enterprises to hemp supply chains, from classrooms to boardrooms. At Kalvium, I lead Global Enterprise Relations, partnering with Global Capability Centers (GCCs) and global tech companies to build their tech teams with industry-ready engineers trained in GenAI, MERN, Python, and full-stack. My focus is simple: helping enterprises accelerate innovation with talent that’s built for the future. Before this, I founded Herbino™, India’s first B2B hemp supply chain platform, pioneering post-harvest solutions for SMEs and launching FybrTex, India’s first custom hemp textiles. Alongside, I drove policy advocacy at ministerial levels, shaping India’s hemp industry framework. I’ve also co-founded The Blank Box (Jharkhand’s first Mexican food outlet and India’s first hemp tacos 🌮), contributed to cultural diplomacy with the Embassy of Mauritius, and led creative grassroots marketing initiatives across borders. 💡 What defines me? A restless drive to turn bold ideas into industries whether in AI, sustainability, or enterprise growth. Let’s connect if you’re building at scale, shaping industries, or exploring what tomorrow looks like.
