About

From founding two successful ventures where one led to exponential exits, I live on the thrill of building, scaling and leading the problem-solving puzzles of a startup from the inception stage to a scalable stage. I've had the privilege of wearing both the CTO and CEO hats at Pickrr where I successfully navigated survival, growth and fundraising from angel investments to Series C and I've acquired invaluable experience through two M&A deals, one of which stands as one of the largest in the country (~$200M) With a passion for innovation and a keen eye for tech-driven opportunities, I'm a serial entrepreneur and poker enthusiast. Over the past decade, I've made 100+ strategic investments in startups across categories like Enterprise SaaS, AI/ML, deep tech and traditional businesses contributing to impactful advancements in the tech industry. My academic foundation is rooted in B.Tech in Maths and Computing from IIT Guwahati and I'm passionate about pushing the boundaries of technology and connecting with like-minded professionals and aspiring entrepreneurs. Let's connect and drive innovation forward!
