About

At Grasshoppers ~ An Eco-Workspace, I contribute to the Founder's Office, leveraging my skills in finance and project management. Additionally, as a Deal Flow Associate with Lakshm, I support early-stage founders by managing deal flow, mapping investor networks, and refining fundraising strategies. This includes identifying thesis-fit funds, preparing investor-ready materials, and engaging with VC and angel networks to position startups effectively. Pursuing a Bachelor of Business Administration at NMIMS, I bring a foundation in finance supported by certifications in Financial Modeling and Data Analytics. Previous roles in early-stage ventures honed my ability to conduct market research, develop operational strategies, and manage cross-functional projects. My focus lies in enabling startups to thrive by aligning their narratives with investor expectations.
