About

Summary: With over 30 years of experience as an entrepreneur, business head, and CFO, I’ve built a career around creating value, driving transformation, and enabling sustainable growth. I have led businesses through the entire lifecycle — from early-stage setup and rapid scaling to strategic turnarounds, joint ventures, and right-sizing. My focus has always been on aligning capital with clarity, enabling long-term business health and delivering shareholder value. As Founder of Jindagi Live Group, I now lead teams that are focused on empowering growth across businesses and individuals through various initiatives Deal Plexus – A tech-enabled financial marketplace with 30,000+ finance professionals delivering smart capital (Equity, Debt & M&A) and curated financial products. Jindagi Live Angel Fund – A SEBI-registered Category I fund that partners with founders as co-creators, not just investors. We bring strategic insight, deep networks, and hands-on support through the early stage of their journey. Nandan Capital – A SEBI-registered Category II fund, co-created with seasoned industry leaders, focused on structured debt and growth capital for SMEs. It enables EBITDA improvement, operational transformation, and IPO readiness. Maheshwari Angels – A curated investor network of accomplished professionals and entrepreneurs, focused on nurturing early-stage startups. Jindagi Live Akshay Foundation – Our not-for-profit initiative dedicated to providing critical medical aid for underprivileged children. A rank holder CA, CFA, CMA, and CS by qualification, I’ve served in leadership roles at GE Capital and IFCI.,. Today, I actively mentor founders, shape startup journeys, and invest across sectors like AI, BFSI, consumer tech, EVs, edtech, and agritech and more. I believe India’s next growth story lies in accessible finance, driving innovation, and empowering entrepreneurs at scale. Specialties: Ability to understand “Breadth + Depth + Context”. Inspiring people to perform at higher levels and continuously excel. Voracious learner to build own skills, knowledge & expertise. Knack for solving problems through win-win scenarios.
