About

I help founders, MSMEs, and purpose-led teams unlock sustainable and scalable growth. Over the past decade, I’ve worked with early-stage businesses across India; coaching leaders on growth systems, brand building, and fundraising readiness. My approach blends real-world startup experience with structured business coaching frameworks that deliver measurable results. Earlier in my journey, I founded a waste-tech venture as a student and scaled it to $1M+ ARR and a $10M valuation, even setting a Guinness World Record for recycling. That experience shaped my belief that business can be both profitable and purposeful. Today, I partner with founders and leadership teams to help them: 💡 Design growth & scaling systems 🚀 Build investor and market readiness 🌏 Lead with purpose, not pressure 🤝 Strengthen teams and execution clarity I’m also a proud father; my family keeps me grounded in moral clarity while I pursue my mission to maximize impact through business. If you’re building something meaningful and want to turn your vision into a sustainable growth engine, DM “COACH”.

It demanded research on Supply chain Management and Corporate Social Responsibility. The project aimed to improve livelihoods of farmers around mined regions in Indonesia.
