About

Today, I partner with early-stage B2B Tech Founders at Merak Ventures. India's enterprise stack is still being built from scratch. The founders getting it right are obsessed with the problem long before they think about the pitch. That's who I want to speak with. Before Merak, I co-founded The DotIn Network: a closed-door platform connecting India's finest Family Offices to early-stage businesses. Before that, the MABS Family Office: building positions, managing portfolios, navigating exits. That's where conviction earned its calluses. I spoke at TEDx in 2023. I serve as Director at the Rotary Club of Bombay (Satellite). Scuba Diving, Traveling & Golf keep me honest: all are humbling in ways a boardroom rarely is. For nearly a decade, I performed as One&One: one of India's top Electronic Music DJs and Producers. India's biggest stages. Global music circuits. Sunburn, VH1 Supersonic & beyond. Then I walked away from it. At some point, the craft of reading a room: knowing what's missing, what's building, what's about to break: felt more useful in a boardroom than on a stage. So the context shifted. The skill set didn't. If you're building early-stage B2B Tech, I'd genuinely like to hear from you - pranav@merakventures.com
