About

Experienced Corporate Head with a demonstrated history of working in the construction, IT, health-tech and now Fintech industries. My passion for building things is related more to the humanity of it rather than the goal in itself. Currently working the 2nd version of my Fintech startup. We are deeply focused on removing the friction that exists in the SME export ecosystem. Only 1 in 500 Indian MSMEs currently export..we plan to increase that number multifold by disrupting the process with technology.
