About

I am a former operator turned investor who is passionate about technology, marketplaces and more recently fintech and climate tech. I graduated with an MBA from the Kellogg School of Management and majored in Strategy & Marketing. At Kellogg, I was on the Dean's List and also awarded the prestigious Zell Fellowship for entrepreneurs. I am a graduate of the College of Business Studies, University of Delhi and majored in Finance. Subsequently, I worked at Google across the Small and Medium Business Services, People Operations and Large Customer Sales teams. Post Google, I co-founded and led a meta transport aggregation app, Instago and partnered with various ride-sharing companies and grew it to the top 40 transportation apps in India across Android & iOS. At Uber, I was a part of the Trust & Safety team and worked on issues regarding on-boarding drivers and streamlining processes. I worked as a Project Manager on the Uber Eats team in San Francisco followed by the New Mobility team for Uber India to help launch transit in New Delhi and formulate our micromobility strategy. Subsequently, I transitioned to work as a Product Operations Manager for Uber's bikesharing service-JUMP. At Meta, I worked on the Product Partnerships team for Facebook's messaging products-Messenger, Instagram & WhatsApp in San Francisco. Subsequently I moved to India with Meta and worked on the Strategy & Planning team focussed on partnerships for Creators, Video and the Metaverse. Currently I look at fintech & climate tech investments along with developing the fund strategy at Stride Ventures.
