About

I was supposed to be someone from Science. My entire family are science graduates, it was never really a question. I asked too many questions, challenged too many assumptions, and ended up in law school instead. Best decision I ever made. Law gave me the framework. But I've never stayed inside it. At Tresa Motors I wasn't just the GC, I built the legal function from zero, automated contract review down to under an hour, founded an esports vertical nobody asked me to build, and ended up running legal for the founding family office too. At Armatrix, I'm Chief of Staff, which means I own legal, ops, fundraising, IP, finance, and R&D OKRs simultaneously, because the boundaries between those things have never made much sense to me anyway. I've supported close to $20M in fundraising, built 100+ IP portfolio, closed $1.8M+ in revenue, and shipped AI tooling that's live across two companies. I also hold five provisional patents of my own, because at some point it felt wrong to keep filing patents for other people's ideas without having any skin in the game. I build things on the side too. A 4,000-member legal jobs network that runs itself. Prototypes. Tools. One company I killed when the unit economics didn't work. I think that one taught me more than the wins. Outside of work I used to be a national-level cyclist, State Bronze Medalist, and pro bono counsel to athletes who can't afford advice. The thread across all of it: law, startups, sport, code is the same: I'm most alive when I'm building something that didn't exist before, in a space where the rules haven't been written yet. If that sounds like someone worth knowing, let's talk.

Work experience

Chief of Staff at Armatrix, Jul 2025 - Present · 1 yr 3 mos, Bengaluru

In-House Counsel at Tresa Motors, Jul 2023 - Jun 2025 · 2 yrs, Bangalore Urban, Youngest GC from my batch. Built and ran legal, ops, BD and fundraising for a Series A EV startup scaling across states and jurisdictions. The work taught me the problem I now spend every day solving. Every morning I opened eight tabs, rebuilt context I already had yesterday, and verified every citation by hand because nothing remembered the day before. The tools built for lawyers were too expensive, built for some other market, or simply did not exist. Key outcomes: Closed Seed to Series A. 30+ IP portfolio. Landmark Indian Customs win. $500K acquisition in 30 days. GPT contract engine that cut review time from 10 days to under 1 hour saving ₹31L+ annually. That engine became the seed of Associate.

Legal Intern at CoinSwitch Kuber, Jul 2022 - Jan 2023 · 7 mos, Bengaluru, Karnataka, India
