About

I work with early-stage Indian startups to help them raise their first seed capital, angel funding, and government-backed grants or collateral-free loans — without unnecessary dilution. My focus is on making startups investor-ready by aligning their business narrative, capital requirement, and growth strategy with the right funding source. I bring hands-on operator experience across multiple sectors, including health-tech, food & beverage, professional services, and MSME-focused platforms — which helps me understand ground realities beyond pitch decks. Currently, I am advising a pediatric health-tech startup on its first seed raise and government funding access. I believe strong ideas don’t fail due to lack of effort, but due to lack of structured capital access.
