About

As a GP and Co-founder of 2am VC, I invest in early stage startups that solve problems for/are built by Gen Z /young India. I used to practice accounting as a CPA before investing full time in 2017. I still love accounting. I leverage my business knowledge and deep network to evaluate and invest/support promising entrepreneurs who are creating innovative and impactful solutions for the Indian market and beyond. I’ve been fortunate enough to be around amazing people my whole life. Looking forward to meeting you.
