About

I help startups raise funds like pros while giving investors privileged access to growth-ready ventures. At MyProBuddy, through partnerships with 200+ incubators, accelerators & venture studios, and a global network of investors (VCs, angels, family offices, super angels), we’ve built one of the most trusted deal-making ecosystems. Every founder is sharpened with mentorship, mock pitches, valuations, and compliance support. Every investor gets exclusive deal flow that’s vetted for vision, governance, and scalability. Founders: If you’re raising and want to be pitch-ready, let’s connect. Investors: If you’re scouting high-quality opportunities, I’ll open the right doors. I also collaborate with family offices, venture partners, and ecosystem leaders across India and abroad driven by one mission: to make founders globally fundable. DM me if you’re ready to raise capital with conviction or discover opportunities worth your time.

Experience

Enlighten capital

Advisor to the Board

Mar 2026Present · 0 mo · India · Hybrid

  • Enlighten Capital invests in DeepTech, AI native platforms, SaaS, and EV startups/ businesses. Sectors where a sharp vision isn't a nice to have. It's the only thing standing between you and an expensive mistake.
  • My focus is on what quietly separates great funds from ones that just had a good run:
  • ⁠ ⁠LP onboarding and institutional relationship development
  • ⁠ ⁠Portfolio construction strategy and investment discipline with vetted deal pipeline
  • ⁠ ⁠Fund structuring and regulatory advisory oversight
  • ⁠ ⁠Strengthening founder and investor alignment across deployments
