• At SAFE, we are on a mission to support the unsung heroes of the business world—entrepreneurs—by prioritizing their mental health and well-being. Entrepreneurship is a rollercoaster ride of ambition, challenges, and immense pressure, but too often, the emotional toll it takes is overlooked.
• As someone who has faced the highs of 8-figure exits and the lows of stress-induced health crises, I founded SAFE to fill the gap I once felt so deeply. We provide resources, community support, and actionable tools to help entrepreneurs navigate the unique mental health challenges that come with building businesses.
• In my role as Chief Philanthropy Officer, I’m dedicated to creating programs and initiatives that empower founders to thrive—not just professionally, but personally. SAFE isn’t just a foundation; it’s a movement to normalize the conversation around mental health for entrepreneurs. Together, we’re building stronger leaders, healthier communities, and a brighter future.

• At Instoried, we built something extraordinary—a proprietary generative AI platform powered by over 70 million data points, designed to revolutionize how businesses connect with their audiences emotionally. Our technology enabled marketers, writers, and brands to craft content that resonated deeply with their target audience, helping them drive engagement and build meaningful relationships.
• Leading Instoried was one of the most rewarding yet challenging chapters of my life. I raised $200 million in funding, scaling the company to global recognition. But amidst the hustle and high stakes of building a groundbreaking product, I faced my own personal battle—suffering a stress-induced cardiac arrest and grappling with significant mental health challenges.
• These experiences taught me the hard truth about the toll entrepreneurship can take. They also led me to make the difficult decision to step away and exit the company in early 2023. It wasn’t just an exit from Instoried—it was a step toward reclaiming my health and starting a new chapter in my life.
• Instoried remains a testament to the power of innovation and resilience. I’m proud of what we built and the impact it has made, and I carry forward the lessons I learned to inspire others on their journeys.

• My first entrepreneurial venture was born out of a deep love for storytelling and videos. I set out to create a media platform that would revolutionize content consumption for Indian vernacular audiences—a “Netflix” for regional languages. Bootstrapping the company from scratch, I poured my heart into crafting over 70 original scripts and web series, which we launched on YouTube.
• The results were incredible: a loyal community of 500,000+ subscribers and more than 7 million views. Our platform became a voice for untapped audiences, delivering stories that resonated with millions.
• After years of relentless passion and grit, we achieved an 8-figure exit—a moment that validated not just the business model but the power of creating something meaningful. This journey not only cemented my love for video storytelling but also showed me the transformative impact of persistence, creativity, and connecting with audiences in their own language. It was the foundation of my belief in the limitless potential of innovation.

• My journey into the world of startups began with a bold choice—I turned down an offer from Google to join an early-stage company called Mu Sigma. It was a leap of faith that became a life-altering experience. Over four years, I worked tirelessly to help grow the company to an impressive $300 million in ARR, collaborating with Fortune 500 clients like Microsoft, Allstate Insurance, Walmart, Bristol Myers Squibb, and Amgen.
• At Mu Sigma, the hours were long—16-hour days, often spilling into weekends—but the lessons were profound. I gained invaluable insights into data-driven decision-making, problem-solving, and the sheer grit it takes to scale a business from the ground up.
• This wasn’t just a job; it was my initiation into entrepreneurship. Mu Sigma showed me the transformative power of startups—not just for founders, but for those willing to invest their sweat equity to build something extraordinary. It laid the foundation for everything I’ve achieved in my entrepreneurial journey and cemented my belief in the value of relentless hard work, vision, and resilience.
