About

With years of experience building and scaling businesses in India’s mobility and technology ecosystem, I currently lead Cautio, a deep-tech startup focused on AI-powered video telematics for commercial vehicles. We’re on a mission to make Indian roads safer by bringing accountability, intelligence, and infrastructure-grade video data to the heart of mobility - enabling better fleet management, accountability, and compliance. Before Cautio, I was part of the founding teams at Bounce, Bounce Infinity and Namma Yatri, where I helped launch and scale new categories, navigate operational complexity, and build teams from the ground up. Across all these journeys, one thing has stayed constant: the drive to solve real-world problems through execution-first thinking and impact-led innovation. An alumnus of NIFT and IIM Calcutta (exec. prog/1 year), I’m passionate about building things that sit at the intersection of physical infrastructure and digital intelligence. Always open to exchanging ideas around mobility, telematics, startups, and how technology can create meaningful change at scale.
