About
Entrepreneur-in-Residence @ AppsForBharat | Entrepreneur-in-Residence @ Dezy | Founder @ Teethalin (Acqui-hired) I’ve always gravitated toward building products that shape how people live, heal, and connect. That journey has taken me from dental healthtech to now creating spiritual and devotional experiences for Bharat. At AppsForBharat (SriMandir), I work across strategy, operations, growth, and product to scale offerings like Daily Mantra & Daily Darshan, digital experiences that bring temple darshan into every devotee’s home. I also contribute to SriYatra, our offline spiritual travel initiative enabling structured, seamless temple visits across Ayodhya, Varanasi, and other sacred hubs. In parallel, I work on scaling astrology-led growth initiatives across Kundli, Puja, and devotional commerce, helping deepen user engagement and unlock new spiritual journeys for devotees digitally. Previously, as Chief of Staff at Dezy (Smiles.ai), I drove company-wide strategy, led multi-city operations, improved patient journeys, launched clinics and GTMs, and implemented tech-led workflows during hypergrowth. Before that, I founded Teethalin, a smile-correction startup incubated at COEP & IIM Bangalore — my first zero-to-one lesson in solving real user problems with agility. Across roles, a few principles guide me: • Build systems that scale • Stay close to the user • Solve meaningful India-first problems • Move with speed and clarity Rooted in tech. Driven by impact. Built to scale. Always happy to connect with founders and operators building ambitious, Bharat-focused products
