About

I engage with funded startups in the role of a Virtual CFO (especially in Fintech, Deep-tech/Science-based, SaaS, Ecommerce, and Startup Incubators). Providing strategic as well as hands-on advice, at the same time giving an outside-in perspective on the business is at the core of my role as a management consultant. At AvantEdge, I lead a team which provides reliable and proactive services in investment advisory, equity structuring, business valuation, ESOP, cross-border structuring, and overall financial management of startups. Drawing from my experience in corporate governance, P&L management, regulatory compliance, and operational expertise, I offer strategic guidance and advisory services to the management of follwing companies as a Director on their boards: - Firstcry.com (listed eCommerce company) - Digital Age Retail Ltd (eCommerce) - Convirza Pvt Ltd (Tech services) - SH Forhealth Solutions Pvt Ltd (medical device startup) Some of my Virtual CFO stints include: - India's largest online ticketing platform (acquired by BookmyShow); - IoT startup in the mobility space (acquired by Varroc Engineering Ltd, a listed auto OEM manufacturer); - Multiple offshore IT development companies (acquired by US-based IT conglomerates). I have strong eco-system connects with startup incubators across India, and serve on their investment committees. I was the founding Program Leader of Startup Leadership’s Pune chapter and led it for 3 years. I am an active angel investor, a startup mentor, and a speaker on subjects of startups, startup finance, business valuation, ESOP, etc. I'm passionate about connecting with early-stage startup founders.
