Tinkering around Fintech, AI, and everything in between

## About

Building Vegapay, a Fintech startup that empowers banks, NBFCs, and fintechs to implement cutting\-edge technology solutions within weeks\. We are actively hiring across all domains, and the learning curve at Vegapay is absolutely incredible\. If the space interests you, please feel free to reach out\. Previously, I led a 10 member team as the Co\-founder and CEO of Contri, a Fintech startup building a UPI\-based payment application for shared payments \(friends, flatmates, couples, families, etc\.\) Despite raising a pre\-seed of ₹1\.25 Cr, we unfortunately had to shut down operations due to an RBI regulatory decision regarding PPIs\. I thoroughly enjoy working with startups, and strongly believe that India's upcoming phase of growth will be driven by innovation from teams building in India \- for India and the world\. I love playing football and have played till the junior national level \(B\.C\. Roy trophy\)\. I also play a couple of instruments and love writing songs\.
