About

I've spent the last 12+ years at the intersection of fintech, payments, and partnerships β€” helping startups, enterprises, and regulated ecosystems unlock the power of modern financial infrastructure. From being an early member of Razorpay's growth journey to leading the Partnerships channel at Castler (India's leading Escrow-as-a-Service platform), my work has centred on one thing: building meaningful, scalable relationships that drive real business outcomes. What I do: 🀝 Build and scale strategic partnerships with banks, fintechs, system integrators, ERP/LMS providers, and platform businesses πŸ’³ Design payment, escrow, and compliance-led financial workflows in close collaboration with founders and leadership teams πŸš€ Lead GTM strategy for API-driven solutions β€” from zero to revenue, across startup, enterprise, and government segments πŸ—οΈ Architect digital banking infrastructure, integrated product modules, and scalable transaction platforms πŸ‘₯ Manage cross-functional stakeholders β€” product, legal, compliance, banking, regulators β€” to get things shipped How I use AI to work differently: I actively use AI tools β€” ChatGPT, Claude (Anthropic), Microsoft Copilot, Perplexity AI, Notion AI, Replit, and Lovable β€” not just for productivity, but to fundamentally reshape how partnerships and GTM work gets done. I've built AI-powered workflows for partnership outreach, CRM enrichment, meeting summarisation, and internal knowledge management. I also use Replit and Lovable to rapidly prototype tools and internal workflows β€” turning ideas into working products without waiting on engineering bandwidth. Companies I've been proud to represent: Castler (backed by InfoEdge, Flipkart, Rainmatter/Zerodha, IIFL) | Razorpay | PayU | FDS Hive | PHD Chamber of Commerce What drives me: The Indian payments ecosystem is undergoing a once-in-a-generation transformation. I love being in the room where infrastructure gets built β€” working with founders who are reimagining how money moves, how trust is established, and how financial services reach the next billion users. If you're building in fintech, payments, or embedded finance β€” or looking to partner on escrow and trust infrastructure β€” let's connect.
