About

I thrive at the intersection of venture capital, product, and AI, helping scale businesses and solve high-impact problems. I currently invest in early stage enterprise AI companies. Previously, I led content-led growth for Zomato’s food delivery business, driving product innovation and operational efficiencies. Before that, I was an investor at Kalaari Capital, backing early-stage startups across fintech, consumer internet, and agritech, gaining a deep appreciation for what it takes to build enduring companies. I’m a graduate of London Business School and a CFA Charterholder, and I’m particularly drawn to AI-driven transformations in fintech, commerce, and enterprise software. Outside of work, I am an avid traveller and enjoy sport and books. I believe in creating equitable distribution of resources and am a firm champion of diversity. Currently based in New York, I love exploring new ideas, industries, and opportunities to build.
