About

I’ve realised something about myself over the years: I don’t particularly enjoy maintaining things. I enjoy building things. New businesses. New products. New fundraising processes. New partnerships. New ways of working. Over the last 8+ years, I’ve worked across Founder’s Office, Investor Relations, Fundraising, Operations and Business Development roles in venture-backed startups. While the industries have varied—from commercial real estate and fintech to alternative assets—the common thread has been working closely with founders to build businesses from zero. A few things I’ve been fortunate to build: • Scaled a financial product from 0 to ₹30 Cr AUM. • Raised $1M+ across Seed to Pre-Series A fundraising. • Built investor relationships across HNIs and institutional investors. • Worked across strategy, operations, fundraising and GTM inside early-stage startups. • Built cross-functional systems that helped founders execute faster. I enjoy sitting at the intersection of founders, investors and execution—turning ambiguity into structured action. Currently interested in AI, venture-backed startups, investor relations, strategic partnerships and building products that create outsized leverage. Always happy to connect with founders, operators and investors building ambitious companies.
