About me

I invest in, and advise, early stage companies and help them hit strong growth trajectories. I also help connect startups to sources of capital - both equity and debt. My eclectic business background combines roles in Early-stage investing, Engineering, Sales, Business Development, Product Marketing, Product Management, and Strategy; combined with academic qualifications in Computer science and an MBA from Carnegie Mellon University. I have strong investing experience in early stage companies - both in an individual capacity and through Anthill. Investments include Gaia Smart Cities, and startups in AI-based Healthcare, Chronic Wound Management, Ayurveda Tech, Food Tech, and Electric Car Technologies. I have 20+ years of operational experience in engineering, marketing, and business development in early to mid stage companies. I am now leveraging all this experience and my educational background in early stage investing and advisory for technology startups in India. I love working with early stage companies to fine-tune business plans, go-to-market strategies, fundraising strategy, team building, content refinement and other key tasks to help them achieve business expansion goals.
