About

I build from 0 → 1 and then to ∞. A hardcore operator who loves getting his hands dirty to move things fast. I thrive in chaos, ambiguity, and early-stage environments where ownership is real and outcomes matter most. Over the years, I’ve built across Foodtech, Gaming, Infra, DeFi, and now in Fintech, working across market research, product development, user acquisition, growth, partnerships, and go-to-market execution. I operate at the intersection of product, growth, and strategy. I don’t sit on the sidelines. I BUILD. I EXECUTE. My journey started at ZS, where I developed a strong foundation in structured thinking, data-backed decision-making, and executive communication. I’m driven by the process of turning ideas into reality, shipping fast, learning faster, and compounding small wins into outsized outcomes. Always open to connecting with founders, operators, and builders shaping the next big thing.

This approach significantly increased the drug's potential for becoming a blockbuster.
