About

Currently, I am part of the strategy team at RazorpayX. I was formerly building Zolve, the first cross-border neobank for immigrants and expats, where I joined as part of the founding team. I have completed my MBA from the Indian School of Business, Class of 2020 where I received the Young Leader Award (awarded to the top 2.5% of the graduating class for exceptional leadership and contribution to the cohort). Passionate about problem-solving and tackling real-world scenarios, I co-founded my first startup in the Edtech space in 2017. I also worked as an Engagement Manager at Locus.sh, leading projects across eight countries in the Supply Chain space.
