As the Founder and CEO of DSBC, I bring to bear over 15 years of diverse experience in International and Domestic Business Advisory & Fund Raising. Over the course of my career, I have navigated various sectors and industry sub-verticals, refining my acumen as a strategic planner and mentor to emerging startups. My journey commenced with a tenure in Private Equity within the UAE and Europe, where I immersed myself in the realms of investment banking and advisory. Collaborating closely with Private Equity and Angel investors, I adeptly maneuvered through the intricacies of diverse startups, spanning from Fin-Tech to consumer ventures, facilitating funding and delivering essential services, reminiscent of DSBC's core operations today. Following an 8-year tenure abroad, I repatriated to India, briefly engaging in investments before pivoting towards advisory services. This period heralded the genesis of DSBC, which has since evolved into one of India's foremost boutique investment banks, steadfastly steered by myself. Presently, alongside spearheading DSBC, I serve as a Venture Advisor with leading VC firms, including a Middle Eastern VC Fund boasting a robust portfolio extending across 26 countries and over 65 investments. My specialization lies in orchestrating funding for startups and growth-stage companies across a diverse spectrum of sectors, spanning EdTech to Health-tech and beyond.
