About

I’m passionate about investing in founders who have the vision and grit to build something big from the ground up. Growing up, I saw the potential in India’s smaller cities and towns, places filled with untapped talent and ideas waiting to take flight. The challenge was that founders often didn’t have the resources or ecosystem to truly grow. That's where I come in. At Navyug Global, I don’t just provide capital. I focus on building a support system around the businesses I invest in. Whether it's connecting them to the right partners, offering strategic advice, or helping them scale, I want to be there for every step of their journey. I focus on Tier-2 and Tier-3 cities, where the most resilient entrepreneurs are creating change in sectors like fintech, electric mobility, and consumer goods. It’s about building an ecosystem that helps these businesses thrive, not just today but for the long haul. I believe in real partnerships, not just a transaction. If you're an entrepreneur who’s ready to take that next step, I’ll be there to support you in every way I can.

Director

May 2020 – Present · 5 yrs 11 mos · Chennai

At Navyug Global Ventures, we’re more than investors; we’re builders of businesses that enrich communities. With a focus on Tier-2 and Tier-3 cities, we support early-stage entrepreneurs across sectors like fintech, electric mobility, consumer goods, and infrastructure development. Our goal is to create an ecosystem where startups not only receive funding but also the strategic guidance and resources they need to thrive.
We operate across technology solutions (like MyDigiConnect), consumer products, and business consulting, offering end-to-end support that includes everything from digital platforms to real-world infrastructure projects. Each venture we back is a part of a larger, integrated system designed to foster sustainable growth, collaboration, and positive societal impact.
I believe in empowering founders with more than just capital - it’s about building relationships, providing mentorship, and creating long-term value. At Navyug, we don’t just invest; we help turn ideas into impact and build businesses that make a difference.
