Deep Dive: Your Startup/Idea
A heart-to-heart with another founder
About me
Why come to me? For real, actionable advice and mentorship, born from personal experience as an entrepreneur. I've launched and grown 10+ consumer brands as an entrepreneur, growth marketer and a fractional CMO.
I have co-founded Aurm (an asset security firm), Flatheads (a casual footwear brand for the urban workforce), and Momoe (an early pioneer of digital payments in real world locations). As a growth marketer, I have built brands in varied categories - fashion, baby care, health and wellness, furniture, food and beverages, financial planning and more.
Flatheads appeared on Shark Tank India Season 2, and has been the most viral episode till date.
Earlier, I have also been part of the corporate rat race at Honeywell, Bain & Co and Ingersoll Rand.
I'm a graduate of IIT Bombay and IIM Bangalore.
