About

Cofounded and led Unbxd as CEO through a $100M exit to Netcore, where we became a category leader in AI search for enterprise retail according to Forrester and Gartner. Now building again with Prashant — in stealth. We’re working at the intersection of AI, finance, and compliance—rethinking how enterprise finance teams and funds handle governance, controls, and reporting. If you’re in a finance function at a large company or fund and deal with compliance complexity, let’s connect. We’re launching an invite-only beta soon. #AI #Finance #Compliance #Governance #EnterpriseSoftware #StealthStartup #Founders #BetaProgram
