I grew up in a business family and learned the ropes of operations before I understood anything else. I left a safe, well-paying job to start my own venture, which ultimately didn’t work out. After shutting it down, I traveled across India, met real people, and learned to see problems from multiple perspectives. Since then, I’ve helped 80+ founders tell their story clearly, including collaborating with Aman Gupta on his Shark Tank portfolio and OFF/BEAT. I build investor narratives and translate complex tech into compelling business models for VC pitches and LP decks.
