About

At Belong, I work on one core problem: helping NRIs and Indian investors save and invest in a tax-efficient, compliant way, without currency risk or regulatory surprises, via GIFT City. I’m a fintech founder with two startups behind me. I previously co-founded Goalwise, a wealth-tech platform that was acquired by Niyo in 2020. Post-acquisition, I spent close to two years as VP Product at Niyo, building and scaling wealth products across mutual funds, stocks, and micro-investing. I later spent a year as an early-stage VC, which gave me a first-hand view into how companies succeed or fail under regulatory, operational, and capital constraints. Today, my work focuses on designing tax-efficient structures, USD-denominated products, and compliant cross-border investment flows for global Indians. I also write about personal finance for Indian investors, fundraising and capital strategy, and the realities of building regulated fintech businesses.
