Chaarmikha Nagalla — Co-Founder

📧: c.nagalla@pnptc.com Hey! I'm Chaarmikha, a 22 y/o currently working at RBI's Innovation Hub. My work involves everything fintech acceleration – from running hackathons/accelerators to managing stakeholders and partnerships, all aimed at creating better startup success in India! Prior to this, I was a student entrepreneur with a Bachelor's Degree in Economics, with concentrations in Computer Science and Business. I've been a founder/founding member of multiple startups and social ventures, particularly in the domains of Financial Inclusion, Skill-building, Women Empowerment, and Sustainability. While I'm a hardcore generalist by skill, I'm a creative at heart. I started creating on LinkedIn in 2022, was part of the Top 200 creators in the Creator Accelerator Program, and also the long-term Creators Program. In 2023, I was awarded the LinkedIn Top Economics Voice, along with working as a ghostwriter and marketer for renowned startup founders and influencers in India (3.4M+ followers). I also got selected amongst the 50 creators of Nikhil Kamath's WTF Creator Fund. If you wish to collaborate or just brainstorm over coffee, feel free to hit me up! :)
