About

I enjoy working at the intersection of technology, company building, and ambitious people. Over the last few years I’ve worked across AI commercialization, fundraising, GTM, customer discovery, and strategic initiatives in startup environments. At NeuralGarage, an AI startup building proprietary video AI technology, I’ve worked closely with founders, enterprise customers, and investors to help scale adoption of emerging technologies. What fascinates me most is understanding why startups succeed, how exceptional founders think, and how technology reshapes industries. I am particularly interested in: • AI adoption and commercialization • Startup ecosystems and venture capital • Founder evaluation and company building • GTM and customer discovery • India’s role in the global AI landscape Long term, I aspire to build companies of my own. Today, I’m focused on learning from exceptional founders, operators, and investors while helping build meaningful businesses.
