About

I believe the most sustainable growth comes from a powerful community engine combined with smart, strategic relationships. My journey at LetsUpgrade - from joining as the 5th team member to serving as Co-founder - was a 5-year masterclass in scaling from zero. I had the incredible opportunity to scale a community from a handful of students into a vibrant ecosystem of over 1.8 Million learners. What I bring to the table: 🔹 Community & Ecosystem Scale: I’ve scaled organic engines that drive 60,000+ new enrollments monthly - all while cutting lead costs by 60%. I’ve fostered a developer brand that resonates through high-value content and a YouTube channel of 210K+ subscribers. 🔹 Agentic AI & Technical Advocacy: I don't just talk about the future; I build for it. From leading the Agent Architect Tour to organizing national hackathons, I help developers bridge the gap between complex AI agents and real-world orchestration. 🔹 Strategic Partnerships & Revenue: I’ve forged alliances with 30+ developer communities and built high-value corporate training programs for industry leaders like NPCI, DGV, and Bosch, which drove over INR 15M in revenue. 🔹 Cross-Functional Leadership: I’ve jumped from Curriculum Design and Sales to Operations and Strategy. I serve as the "connective tissue" between technical product teams and business growth objectives. My Core Focus: - Building high-impact Developer Relations (DevRel) strategies. - Architecting Agentic AI ecosystems. - Driving Ecosystem Partnerships that move the needle. I am a speaker, a builder, and a "misfit" who thrives at the intersection of tech and people. Whether it’s mentoring 100+ teams at a Google Cloud Hackathon, teaching Python as a Section Leader for Stanford's Code in Place, or orchestrating the next big AI mission - I’m driven by solving problems and connecting builders. Let’s connect if you’re building the future of AI or looking to scale a developer ecosystem.
