About

I believe everyone should have the power, opportunities, and resources to achieve progress in their lives. Being building for Tier II & below markets, I have developed a profound interest in the areas of Tech-4-Good, Internet Consumer Products, AgriTech, Climate-Tech, B2B/B2C Marketplaces, and cutting-edge Fintech startups solving complex problems for low-income communities at scale. Have deep expertise in building products and radically transforming customer experience for the 'Next Billion' (non-tech savvy) users in emerging markets. I have developed a longstanding passion for regenerative agriculture and highly efficient food distribution systems to maximize earning potential of producers globally. Have lived and worked with Tribal farming communities to understand the nitty-gritty of the farming ecosystem, and build scalable tech products to facilitate the adoption of regenerative ag practices.

Campussifieds

Co-Founder

Feb 2015Nov 2015 · 9 mos · Kota, Rajasthan, India

  • Building out of Hostel Dorm*
  • With the thought of removing rental agents and connecting students directly to the PG/Hostel owners, started www.forkota.in. We realized it wasn't the right time for such platforms as parents are the sole decision-makers when shifting their children into hostels and lack of smartphone adoption among this TG.
  • We also used to run the biggest buy-sell group in Pilani to help students find buyers for their old products. Gaining new insights and taking inspiration from re-furbishing/re-sell markets in Germany, we launched (www.campussifieds.com) a P2P marketplace for e-local classifieds to help students buy-sell their old products and services.
  • The team worked for over 6 months, connecting colleges and students but couldn't scale it well beyond Pilani.
