About

I'm driven by the thrill of building businesses from the ground up. With a background spanning from Indian startups to global giants like Groupon, I've cultivated a knack for turning ideas into success stories. As the founder of Ressy, I pioneered groundbreaking strategies like yield management and variable pricing, reshaping the restaurant industry. This journey culminated in Ressy's acquisition by Eatigo, a TripAdvisor company. At Zepto, where I was the first employee and a core team member, I played a pivotal role in shaping the company's early trajectory. Currently, at Neeryat, I'm on a mission to empower every farmer to become an exporter, using innovation and technology as our tools.
