About

Building Pice, a B2B payments company catering to GST registered Indian businesses. We are solving their payments, credit & commerce needs. Pice is 4 years old, 60+ people strong, raised about INR 68 crores ($8.25mn) across 2 rounds from Nexus Venture Partners, Paramark Ventures & 10 prolific angel investors. Previously I was VP & Head of Products at Open and one of the founding member, where I lead products for merchants and new offerings for the company. During my tenure, the company has grown multi-folds, and has launched various vertical defining product offerings. I have a very customer centric approach to product building. With 7 years of experience, I'm well versed with different fintech verticals like payments, cards, financial process automation, GST & other taxes, line of credit, etc. Prior to Open, I worked with PayU in their enterprise vertical. I also worked in C2C ecom as part of Citrus before it got acquired by PayU and as a part of Elanic founding team. I had also started a wealth tech startup named Stockable but was not able to find product market fit and had to shut down. I'm an engineer by degree and always had an eye to solve customer problems & create business opportunities. I have been closely associated with the startup world ever since graduation.
