About

VC since 2006, with deep experience in consumer and consumer-tech. In 2024, I initiated the setup of a secondary-focused VC fund with an anchor investor, but decided to pivot from a traditional fund structure toward a more agile, platform-led model of engagement in venture capital. Instead, I now run Asisa.vc, a platform with 3 VC related offerings: 1. The VC Academy – helping professionals (and founders) break into VC 2. Pre-Accelerator – making early stage startups investment ready 3. Remote India Desk – enabling global funds to access Indian opportunities remotely Also wrote 'Startup Idea Shaker' — a structured guide to stress-test and validate startup ideas (available on Amazon + Flipkart).
