About

A hustler founder since my IIT Bombay days, I’m currently building Grexa AI - the world’s first Marketing AI Agent for small businesses. Our mission is to democratize digital marketing by creating a fully autonomous system that drives real revenue growth, automating and optimizing every aspect of digital marketing. We want to give small businesses the power to compete with big brands by transforming AI into their growth engine. Before Grexa, I co-founded and scaled Testbook from scratch into a category-leading edtech platform with 7 crore+ registered users, ₹200Cr+ revenue, and a team of 1000+. Testbook became the go-to app for over 4 lakh govt job selections across India, covering 1000+ exams. I led the fundraising journey, securing $13Mn+ in growth capital, and successfully steered Testbook to a high-multiple acquisition by Classplus - delivering strong returns for its shareholders.
