About

I love nurturing new business ideas and help them grow to become something relevant. For the first part of my career, as a consultant I worked with large businesses and helped them first define and then achieve their growth plans. For the last few years, I have been working - as an entrepreneur and investor/advisor - with small businesses and startups to help them grow. Currently, I am building a wealth management service that will empower Indian households to manage and grow their money. Besides Internet, I also have a very personal interest in socially relevant business models.

Current Experience

Wealthy

Founder

Aug 2015 – Present · 10 yrs 8 mos · Bangalore

Wealthy helps clients grow their money in a way that's right for them. We started with the idea that a mobile app in hands of end clients could solve for that, but soon realised that an app alone cannot provide the guidance that many of us (if not all) need. We also realised that it's important to make a human connection with end-clients to be able to truly deliver them a solution that fits their own unique needs.
After a difficult period, we found a better way of solving for our original mission. We are now full-speed ahead towards execution of that mission, where we find existing intermediaries who want to upgrade / start their own practice of financial advisory and give them the tools, training and platform to succeed.
An entrepreneur, now helping other entrepreneurs succeed in helping clients take the best financial decisions.
