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”.
