About

I was always drawn towards technology and how it can be used to solve day-to-day problems, went on to become an early founder, failed at it and restarting again as a founder in the Sports Technology domain. ๐Ÿ— Building a SportsTech startup with a vision to democratise access to training analytics to every sports coach and player. ๐Ÿ HomeGround is a platform that helps cricket coaches and players get access to quality coaching right on their smartphone for as little as $3 per month without a need for wearables or sensors. If you are an aspiring/professional cricketer, a cricket coach, from a cricket academy or someone who takes interest in cricket, you should take a look at what we are building at homegroundapp.com ๐Ÿง  Prior to this I worked in the roles of a Product Manager, Engineering Team Lead at Freyr Energy which is in the Top 15 solar rooftop companies in India. Helped build a platform that was used more than 50,000 users and created a positive environment impact by going solar. ๐Ÿ›  Things that I am learning to improve at: 1. How to build great products - learning about product growth and the importance of talking to users and building something that the user wants 2. Communicating with clarity - with the team, investors and with the larger network. 3. Understanding financial implications of decisions made at an early stage startup ๐ŸŽฏ My interests are in Technology, Entrepreneurship, Startups, Product growth and Sports. ๐Ÿ‹๏ธโ€โ™‚๏ธ Off work I love playing / watching cricket and in preparation for my first half-marathon run.
