About me

I’m a Biomedical Engineer by education, but my professional journey has been anything but typical. Over the past 15+ years, I’ve worked across India and the Middle East — beginning my career in investment banking and private equity, and later diving deep into the venture capital world in India. I’ve evaluated companies across all stages — from mature, revenue-generating businesses to high-risk early-stage startups. Initially focused on tech startups, I eventually found my niche in the world of consumer brands. Today, I operate at the intersection of strategy, scale, and storytelling. I run a venture studio that works hands-on with early-stage founders to help scale their brands — taking ownership of everything from go-to-market strategy to investor readiness. Having worked extensively with both founders and LPs/investors, I deeply understand what investors look for — and how to reverse-engineer a compelling pitch. I’ve reviewed thousands of pitch decks, interacted with over 1,000 startups, and can help any founder craft a clear narrative, compelling storyline, and credible plan to raise funds. I’ve also been a keynote speaker, panelist, and pitch judge at 50+ startup events, sharing insights on brand building, fundraising, and storytelling. Whether you're crafting your first pitch deck, figuring out product-market fit, or raising a follow-on round — I can help you shape your startup’s story, sharpen your investor pitch, and scale with strategic clarity.
