About

I’m an early-stage entrepreneur driven by one core idea: learning business by building in the real world, not just studying it. I’ve been experimenting with ventures in constrained environments—where time, resources, and systems are limited, and using those constraints to understand how businesses actually work. I co-founded MyNalanda.shop, a hyperlocal delivery startup built to solve late-night demand gaps on campus. In 6 days, we generated ₹10K+ revenue, fulfilled 120+ orders, and saw repeat usage within 48 hours, validating strong product-market fit before pausing due to policy constraints. I also built and operated a 2-day pop-up food venture during UNMUKT 2026, generating ₹34K+ revenue while managing pricing, vendor sourcing, and end-to-end operations in a high-footfall environment. This experience deepened my understanding of unit economics, cost structures, and execution under pressure. Across both ventures, I’ve explored how pricing, operations, and customer behavior intersect and how small decisions compound into real outcomes. Currently, I’m pursuing BBA in Digital Business & Entrepreneurship at IIM Bangalore and studying Economics at Azim Premji University, while continuing to build, test, and learn through real-world experiments. I’m particularly interested in roles and opportunities across startups, operations, and strategy, where I can apply structured thinking to messy, real problems.
