I’m an IIT Bombay Chemical Engineering graduate interested in building and scaling businesses at the intersection of strategy, energy and climate technology. My experience has taken me across renewable energy, startups, investing and institutional leadership. At CleanMax, I work on business and strategic initiatives in the C&I renewable energy space, giving me firsthand exposure to how India's energy transition is being built on the ground. Previously, at IIT Bombay's Placement Office, I led strategic initiatives for a 180+ member team and worked with companies, senior executives and students across the institute. I also gained early exposure to startups and investing through roles at LetsVenture and Insolation Energy. What particularly interests me is the intersection of technology, capital and execution to understand emerging markets, identifying opportunities and figuring out how businesses can scale. I’m especially interested in climate tech, clean energy, industrial technology and high-growth businesses. Always happy to connect with people building, investing in or thinking deeply about these spaces.
