About

"Powerful people come from powerful places" I don't. I come from Haldwani. Life's simple here. Actually, good. I've always excelled at academics and extracurricular both. Directed & acted in school plays. School's poster boy. Everyone's favorite. Not that a big deal though. I was one of the 4 students in our batch ( 12th-PCM) at school. Yes, just 4. I was underexposed but extremely curious & hardworking. I ranked 99+ percentiles in National Level examinations like JEE, IISERAT, etc. Fun fact: I share my same alma mater with Mr Mukesh Ambani & several other super successful entrepreneurs running Asian Paints, Pidilite, etc. It's inspiring to know that these legends too sat on same benches, ate in same canteen & went on to build huge empires. Why can't i? By Dec'18, I was sure to start up. Asked my father to drop out. Fortunately/unfortunately, he denied. Multiple times. On Feb 26th '19, I began freelancing with David Wagstaff, Founder of Eprenz (one of USA's largest community for entrepreneurs) & ClarityFi, a US-based financial consultancy firm. I was closely working with David on multiple Community initiatives ranging from marketing, growth, product management, etc. In June'19, I became probably the youngest freelancer in the world to be recognized with the Rising Talent Badge by Upwork Inc. Then I operated SIPWay School, a community-led education initiative from ideation to above 500+ students. Our AUM grew twice to $270k+ within just 3 months of launch! Started Serri (Edtech), got pre-incubated at IIT-M, & raised funds from Harvard alum. Build enSeed, profitable & bootstrapped education biz. Lately, I served as interim CEO at Younited Communities, a community-tech startup. With learnings & earnings so far, I'm building Serri. Won Eureka! Raised $125K pre-seed from investors from 🇮🇳🇸🇬🇲🇾🇯🇵. Build a solid team. Scaled to $500K with just 5 folks in a year. Profitable, cashflow positive. Growing 40% MoM. Touching $1M soon! I think the secret to this success lies in questioning the conventional approaches, thinking ground up from first principles & being kind. I read a lot about biz, finance, economics, biology, filmmaking, marketing, technology, history, sales, etc. It helps more than just reading startup advice (which btw is mostly useless propaganda by wannabe VCs, coaches, etc). Let me know if I can help you with anything. My parents taught me, "If God made you capable of helping someone, it's your duty to do so". Siginng-off from Haldwani💙 "Powerful people make places Powerful"

Strategic Advisor to CEO

Jun 2022 – Present · 4 yrs · Luxembourg, Luxembourg · Remote

  • Spaceonova is the leading space education & research startup in India.
  • "If God made you capable of helping someone, it's your duty to do so"
  • My Mom taught me this at an early age. Then, at 18, when I was trying to get into Startups, I met the most accepting mentors. Everyone in ecosystem was very kind to me.
  • As a beginner, I used to think that I need mentors from the specific domain I’m working in. Or to be experts in skills I’m seeking to learn.
  • Well, not absolutely correct. So far, I’ve had mentors from different sectors. Academia, Banking, financial services, Chemical Technology and processing.
  • I’ve learnt a lot from them. I look up to them whenever I’m stuck somewhere. Irrespective of the size or type of challenge.
  • I personally feel that working closely with mentors catalysed my growth as an entrepreneur and a person as well.
  • Now, I see, life coming full circle. Maybe, too early but that’s how my career had been so far, haha.
  • I’m super excited to work with @shivam & team to brainstorm & solve business challenges for Spacenova. It’s always a pleasure to be working with him. I get to learn so much from him about Space Tech & entrepreneurship in general.
  • Let’s create a Space Ecosystem where limit tends to infinity!
