About

I'm a passionate business development leader with deep roots in India's fintech and payments ecosystem. My journey began in a small town, where the drive to seize every opportunity sparked my entrepreneurial spirit early—my first "venture" was selling snacks on the school bus! Since then, I've thrived on building, learning, and leading from the front. After launching two startups in college—a campus search engine and a food delivery network—I gained hands-on lessons in resilience, team alignment, and how every setback can be a step forward. My path took me to BIM Trichy for an MBA, where I unlocked my potential through national B-plan competitions and collaborations that fueled my love for solving real-world problems. My corporate career started at SBI Mumbai, managing high-stakes roles in International Banking and learning to adapt, connect, and excel in fast-paced environments. Now, as Director of Business Development at MinkasuPay, I help shape the future of payments by bringing secure biometric authentication solutions to leading banks, merchants, and millions of users across India. From eliminating OTP friction to scaling digital adoption, I believe technology can democratize financial access and transform everyday experiences. My approach is simple: • Build powerful networks that drive innovation and open new doors • Guide entrepreneurs in refining their business models for real impact • Support clients and partners to realize the full potential of digital payments Let's connect if you believe in the transformative power of technology, enjoy meaningful conversations, or want to collaborate on the next big leap in fintech!

  • It was time when Flipkart emerging as India's best online seller. I was inspired to start my e-commerce store in food delivery. It was a successful venture and the reason behind the closure would be an issue in scalability. So I thought, without wasting money on discounts it's better to shut the shop.
