About me

As the VP of Investments at Beej Network, a $40 million Angel Fund in Chennai, I'm deeply entrenched in the Indian startup ecosystem. Every day, I'm connected with some of the country's brightest founders and the biggest investors in the world, fostering innovation and propelling promising ventures forward. This puts me at the forefront of disruptive ideas, allowing me to identify the trends that will shape tomorrow's world. But my journey wasn't always boardrooms and investment rounds. My passion for technology and entrepreneurship sprouted early on, leading me to pursue a technical background in Electronics and Instrumentation at Anna University. This strong foundation fuels my ability to understand the "how" behind groundbreaking solutions. The entrepreneurial fire then took hold, and I wasn't one to just sit on the sidelines. I launched two startups of my own, experiencing firsthand the exhilarating highs and the invaluable lessons learned from setbacks. These ventures may not have been the commercial triumphs I envisioned, but they were pivotal in shaping my perspective and equipping me to guide others. My relentless pursuit of knowledge extends beyond the world of venture capital. I'm an avid learner, constantly honing my skills through professional courses and exploring cutting-edge fields like blockchain and machine learning. Evenings might find me tinkering with code, because hey, a little technical prowess never hurts! Beyond the boardroom and the code, you'll find a passionate reader who devours books with a constant hunger for knowledge. This insatiable curiosity translates into a deep understanding of diverse perspectives, a crucial asset in navigating the complexities of the startup world. Are you a founder with a groundbreaking idea? Through mentorship, I can leverage my experience, network, and insights to help you navigate the challenges of building a successful startup. Together, let's turn your vision into a reality, building something remarkable along the way.
