About

Started my journey as an electrical engineer but soon discovered that my true passion lies in building and scaling businesses. Over the years, I have turned ideas into impactful ventures. Here's a glimpse of my entrepreneurial journey: ⚡ 𝗦𝗮𝗶 𝗞𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀: Co-founded and scaled this interior design company to ₹3.7 crore annual revenue, becoming one of the top firms in the city. Achieved a 10x return on investment, upon exiting in 3 years. 🍴 𝗙𝗢𝗢𝗗𝗭𝗢: Built a food delivery platform with 100k+ app downloads and ₹5 crore annual revenue. Pivoted to cloud kitchens and a premium restaurant, hitting 500 daily orders at its peak. Adapted to market challenges and gained invaluable insights along the way. 🌱 𝗢𝗿𝗴𝗮𝗻𝗶𝗰 𝗙𝗮𝗿𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗴: Explored sustainable farming with spirulina and mushrooms on a 2-acre leased land. Though it didn’t scale as planned, it was a rewarding experience in innovation and perseverance. 💡 My strengths lie in identifying opportunities, building strong teams, and driving sustainable growth. I thrive on challenges and believe in learning from every experience. Let’s connect to share ideas, collaborate, or discuss how we can create something impactful together!
