About

I build the bridges Indian founders keep asking for. I'm the Founder & CEO of BISF — Bharath Innovations & Startups Facilitator — a Bengaluru-based platform that connects early-stage startups with the capital, mentors, markets and compliance support they need to scale. We launched BISF publicly at the Rashtriya Ratna Samman 2026 ceremony at Bharat Mandapam, New Delhi, where I spoke as keynote speaker and Guest of Honour. My path here ran through 8+ years in entrepreneurship, FMCG, sales training and business development, starting from my roots in Kerala. Alongside BISF I'm building, X Concierge, a membership and concierge network, and I run foodlocker (FMCG) and micefactory (events & MICE). I write here most weekdays about founder realities — networking, trust, impact and the ecosystem gaps that slow good ideas down. Founders, investors, mentors and ecosystem partners: if you're working to make India's startup journey easier, let's talk.
