About

Lawyer by training, strategist by execution. With a foundation in Regulatory Affairs and Public Policy, I drive funding schemes and investment initiatives for Startup India, helping shape the venture capital and startup funding landscape in India. From designing and optimizing billion dollar government-backed investment programs to crafting policy interventions that enhance startup financing, my expertise sits at the intersection of law, finance, and entrepreneurship. Beyond the numbers, my passion lies in bridging capital gaps for startups, ensuring funding flows efficiently to the right ventures. I thrive in fast-paced environments where strategy meets execution, and I’m always looking to innovate within venture capital, policy, and investment-driven roles.

Experience

Invest india

Associate

Jan 2023 – Present · 3 yrs 2 mos

At Invest India, I work at the intersection of startup financing, policy, and regulatory frameworks, driving efforts to make capital more accessible to high-potential startups. My role involves structuring and managing government-backed funding schemes, supporting venture capital policy, and facilitating investor engagement to strengthen India’s startup ecosystem.
I have been closely involved in the execution and optimization of flagship startup funding programs, including the Fund of Funds for Startups (FFS), Credit Guarantee Scheme for Startups (CGSS), and Startup India Seed Fund Scheme (SISFS). This has involved refining fund deployment mechanisms, enhancing investment accessibility, and advising on policy improvements, particularly in structuring FFS 2.0 to encourage first-time fund managers.
Beyond fund facilitation, I played a key role in developing BHASKAR, a platform designed to centralize startup ecosystem intelligence—enabling data-driven policymaking and investment decisions. I have also worked on regulatory and compliance interventions, including angel tax reforms, corporate governance frameworks, and policy support for state-backed VC funds.
A key part of my work is engaging with venture capital firms, financial institutions, and policymakers to align investment strategies with ecosystem needs. This includes scaling investor facilitation efforts, leading startup pitching series with domestic and global investors, and collaborating on financial accessibility initiatives around SEA.
My focus remains on bridging capital gaps, strengthening investment frameworks, and ensuring that financing structures evolve in line with the needs of India’s startup ecosystem.
