About

Cofounder & CEO at myHQ. We enable individuals and corporates to work from anywhere and in any way they choose. What started at a small basement, has now become India's leading marketplace for flexible workspace solutions myHQ is present in 10+ cities and is helping over 200,000 individuals, and 1000+ corporates find their favourite workspace. The journey has been exhilarating. Overcoming 3 Covid19 waves was certainly a struggle, but a lifelong learning. We are now part of the ANAROCK group . Our vision is a world where EVERYONE has the opportunity, to make magic, EVERYWHERE. Long before the myHQ journey, I was a nerd in school. That helped crack IIT Delhi where I led the social service wing (NSS), started Enactus, participated in Inter-IIT sports. Took part in the rat race of Day 1 placements, made it to consulting and then venture capital to realize my true calling was running a business / PnL. Apart from myHQ and being a nerd, I spend my time following Arsenal FC, Ferrari (F1); going for runs - 21kms (not yet fit enough for 42), and playing squash. I also serve as the Co-Founder, Advisor at BloodConnect - a youth-run NGO aiming to convert youngsters into regular blood donors. We are a team of 300+ volunteers, saving lives one unit at a time. Please donate and help in any way you can (blood donation in our blood donation camps, monetary support for our work).
