About

My first real job was in a call centre in Delhi. I'd tried aviation before that. Two and a half years of theory. Couldn't finish the last six months of training. So I did what made sense — picked up a headset and started talking to people. Turned out I was good at it. Still am. FreeCharge called it social media customer success. YourQuote called it Chief of Staff. Zepto called it founding team. I just called it: show up, understand what's broken, fix it, move on. Employee #7 at Zepto. We went from 7 people to 800 in six months. I didn't have a job description. I just had things that needed doing. At Unacademy, I launched a category that didn't exist. Two people. Blank slate. 11L in revenue by month one. At Glasskeeper, we grew from ₹30k to ₹3 lakhs a month. Bootstrapped. Six months. None of this was planned. I come from a humble background. I took whatever came, and I made sure I over-delivered every single time. That's the only pedigree I have. And honestly? It's enough. I started Unbelong because founders kept asking me to step in. Not to consult. Not to advise. To come in and finish the thing. So that's what we do. Short sprints. Right person. Clear scope. Done. No hiring loops. No agency bloat. No overstaying. I'm also building something for founders and operators in Bangalore. A small room. Honest conversations. No stages. More on that soon. If something's been sitting on your backlog too long — www.unbelong.space If you'd rather ship than pitch — the bench is open.

Founder

Most work doesn't stall because founders are lazy.
It stalls because hiring feels like too much for three weeks of real work.
And agencies feel like bringing a truck to move a sofa.
Unbelong sits right in that gap.
I run structured sprints for founders with things that have been pending too long.
Sometimes I step in directly. Sometimes I bring in the right person from my network.
Either way — clear scope, fixed window, clean close.
Also building a small community for first-time founders and early operators in Bangalore.

We tried to fix something genuinely broken in real estate.
Went directly to Resident Welfare Associations, split the brokerage with them, gave buyers a trusted source.
The idea made sense. The revenue didn't come.
We shut it down before it became something we were just surviving through.
No drama. Good learning.
