## Work experience

Founder at Innernet, Jun 2026 \- Present · 5 mos, Bangalore

Member at South Park Commons, Nov 2025 \- Jun 2026 · 8 mos, Bengaluru, Karnataka, India, went from \-1 to \-0\.1 \(approx\) but also met some fun people along the way\. \-10/\-10 would recommend you join if you can\.

CEO at sthaan\.ai, Jan 2025 \- Jun 2026 · 1 yr 6 mos, Bangalore, Boutique consulting/engineering firm that I ran with a small team\. Worked on delivering bespoke AI solutions for large companies\. Essentially, FDEs for hire on whatever mattered to your company\. Clients included a very large, publicly\-listed staffing company\. Built recruitment automation pipeline\. Built a front\-office and back\-office management solution for a $120M fund\. My personal objectives were: 1\. Get back to hands\-on engineering\. Was coding after 8 years, only had to do it for about 8 months, before the agents were better than me\. 2\. Learn what businesses really wanted\. The answer sadly was band\-aid AI solutions\. 3\. Find a problem that I can spend the next ten years on\. I did find that, but not through the consulting work\. It was fun while it lasted, but ultimately I realised that Indian Businesses are not betting the house on AI, so it would be a bad move to bet my future on the Indian B2B market\. Hence, moved on to the Consumer startup, Innernet\.

Head at People \+ AI, Jun 2023 \- Dec 2024 · 1 yr 7 mos, Bengaluru, A not\-for\-profit funded by Nandan Nilekani to find AI Solutions to India's hard problems\. There was some good ai, but mostly great people\. Wouldn't have it any other way\.

Board Member at Digital Public Goods Alliance, Jan 2022 \- Nov 2025 · 3 yrs 11 mos

## Education
