About

I am a person who enjoys talking to customers and understanding what their problems are and providing solutions for the same. Working in a Startup is really thrilling because every person in a Startup has to punch above their weight. Since 2017 I have had the good fortune of working shoulder-to-shoulder with many founders in the Indian Startup ecosystem to help them raise funds. On the flip side, I have worked with Angel Investors, Venture Capital firms, Private Equities, HNIs, and even a couple of Fortune 100 companies to enable them to invest in Startups and completely acquire Companies.
