About

I am an entrepreneur by heart and had been entrepreneurial from early on. I started my first venture while I was in third year of B.Tech. at IIT Kanpur. I spent the initial few years after my graduation to try out diverse things, to gain a rounded perspective, with a drive to understand the diversity of businesses, life and different perspectives of people, and to gain a first hand experience of creating a enterprises and value. I believe that it is possible to make money and creating a sustainable business while even serving the society, and bringing about collective upliftment as a society, and Technology can be a great enabler for that.
