About

I’ve been an entrepreneur for 14 years. Started young at the age of 18 under my Dad’s guidance. Here's a lowdown of my journey: (1) Spent first 9 years trying to built businesses in tech - SaaS and eCommerce. Most attempts didn't scale, and I pivoted multiple times. (2) Got into crypto before it was cool. 2016. Won a couple of hackathons, one being the London Blockchain Week Hackathon in 2017. (3) Joined Nexus Mutual (NXM), a unicorn in crypto / DeFi as their Founding CTO (2nd employee) in 2017. (4) Started building PlotX in 2020. Raised $2.7m seed in 2020, pre-series A of $5m in 2021. (5) Pivoted to Hunch in 2021. Raised a $23m Series A round for Hunch, and now busy scaling Hunch everyday. My dad taught me ‘the more you give, the more you receive’ and the learning has come true in every sphere of my life - both professionally and personally. Forever indebted to be born in a family with immense wisdom. I’m also a passionate musician and a trained Tabla, Flute & Piano player. If you have a knack for music & instruments, I love jamming! So feel free to hit me up if you're around! ;)
