About

🚀 I'm a DeepTech strategist, venture builder, and early-stage investor with 19+ years of experience scaling technology products, investing in purpose-led startups, and driving digital transformation across industries. 🌱 As Co-Founder & CTO at Farmology, I’m pioneering AI-driven platforms and sustainable agri-solutions — from smart crop advisory to biochar-based inputs — to empower the backbone of India: our farmers. 💸 Evaluated more than 5000 startups, mentored 50+ startups and back high-potential startups in DeepTech, Climate, Agri, and Emerging Markets. ✅ My edge lies in combining hands-on tech leadership (Ex-Infosys, Ex-Unilever) with a founder’s grit and an investor’s lens. I’ve advised multiple startups on scaling product, GTM, and fundraising. 🧭 If you’re building something meaningful or want to co-create the next wave of impact-first innovation — let’s connect.
