About

My motto in life is “Innovating and Creating a new world.” I want to change the world to an incredible place devoid of sufferings in even a single part of society. I want to lead the world to a new era full of cheerfulness. I always believe in aspiring for great objectives and results. The chances of failure are still high, but that's not the end. For me, it is always a call to do better and achieve even bigger targets. Life is full of turns, and I am poised to enjoy them as I have enjoyed them till now.

Experience

Yelow autofin

Founder

Aug 2021Mar 2025 · 3 yrs 7 mos · India

  • From an idea to execution, Yelow was a wild, intense ride. I built and led a team of 50+ exceptional individuals, driving Lending Gateway, a marketplace infrastructure that redefined lending in the B2B and B2C markets. Along the way, we partnered with India's financial giants - HDFC Bank, Axis Bank, HDB Financial, Muthoot, Hinduja, and OEMs like Honda, Bajaj Auto, and Maruti Suzuki. Built 'Captive NBFC in a Box' for emerging EV OEMs as well.
  • We achieved 100%+ MoM growth in two wheeler loan disbursements, to reach $10M annualised disbursement.
  • The challenges were relentless: navigating industry inertia, balancing financial constraints, and aligning multiple stakeholders in a slow moving ecosystem. Ultimately, the journey didn’t unfold as planned, but the lessons were invaluable.
