About

I try to work on interesting problems (often quite hard, often resulting in failure) - 1. How to make the roadside vendor credit-worthy through acceptance of digital payments? (Paytm) 2. How to offer convenient, affordable, quality meals for various use-cases of urban Indians? (Rebel Foods) 3. How to offer fastest, cheapest credit against gold jewellery to a vast non-underwritable India? (Rupeek) 4. How to improve the employment experience and opportunities for blue collar workers? (BetterPlace) Currently, I am on a career sabbatical - seeking a new interesting problem.
