The Journey
A non-linear path that was always going somewhere.
Grew up across India's cantonments. Discipline, adaptability, and a bias for action — instilled early.
Department Rank 1, 100% scholarship. Ocean Engineering & Naval Architecture BTech. Learned to think in systems, solve in first principles, and build under constraint.
Six years in Equity Capital Markets. Structured complex financial transactions in a regulated landscape across Europe and Asia — from rights issues to landmark IPOs.
Built an activewear brand from scratch to sell across 25+ states in India. Product, supply chain, brand identity, growth — every function, owned.
Sharpened the strategic lens. Global cohort, cross-industry thinking, and the conviction to go bigger.
Seeking to build at the intersection of AI, business, and capital.
