About

I build and scale AI SaaS & fintech businesses for regulated buyers (BFSI, fintech, GCCs) across India & APAC—where security, privacy, and compliance decide the deal. Revenue & P&L: Took 0→1 lines to seven-figure ARR, grew enterprise books across India/SEA/MEA, and ran full-cycle deals with HDFC, ICICI, Flipkart, Dream11 and global GCCs. GTM & Product: First-hire/GM (APAC/MEA) for a life-sciences e-sign platform (DocuSign alternative); built the playbooks, partners, and pipeline that opened SEA & Middle East. Translate security/DPDP/SOC2, KYC/AML into buyer-safe architectures and clear ROI. Advisor/operator: Borderless.world (SEA expansion; cross-border payments, multi-currency); Tier-1 USD stablecoin issuer (US) (India GTM mapping); mentor @ Plug & Play (GIFT City) & Startupbootcamp; Cornell Johnson Dean’s Advisory Council. What I’m great at - Landing lighthouse wins in regulated accounts (BFSI/fintech) and scaling through SI partners. - Turning ambiguous needs into minimum-risk evaluations and clean SoWs. - Running a tight forecast, MEDDICC discipline, and exec storytelling that moves deals.
