About

I have 9+ years of experience in investing, strategy consulting, analytics and technology, across India, and UK. My work has recently been focused on investing in the Soorts Technology sector in India. I started my career with Amazon, in the Pricing Analytics team and previously pursued Computer Science from IIT Delhi, building a strong analytical foundation. Subsequently, at Opera Solutions , Central Square Foundation and BCG, I have gained experience in collaborating with diverse stakeholders, from bureaucrats and politicians from India to CxOs of global firms, to design and implement strategies. I am deeply passionate about sports and inclusion and actively contribute to both causes. I also enjoy playing poker, squash, debating and Bollywood dancing, and always happy to connect to share experiences.
