About

Founder at Merkantis, building the digital backbone for global manufacturing. Merkantis is an AI-native industrial infrastructure company turning fragmented, trust-based supply chains into a programmable, data-driven network. We’re starting with precision manufacturing - connecting Indian suppliers with global hardware companies through instant quoting, compliance co-pilots, and milestone-based payments - and evolving toward connected, autonomous production systems. Ex-Spotify, Firework, and Commenda. Took two startups from 0→PMF as the primary business lead. Building what we hope becomes the operating system for global manufacturing trust - where machines talk to software and data replaces doubt.
