Building 2 companies from scratch (ed-tech & e-commerce) has been the most challenging, transformative & educational experience of my life. My research background gave me critical thinking, rigorousness & first principles approach to navigate complex business challenges. My startup journey honed my capacity & skills to deliver value to stakeholders by executing & experimenting at a high pace. If we consider the fundamental unit of society to be interactions, then exchange of value through these interactions becomes the driving force of capitalism. Wealth, in this sense, is just a by-product of that. I'm interested in looking out for interactions where value is scarce and how that can be addressed. *** On a personal level, I'm trying to be more open, and aware as a human being. I write & learn in public about entrepreneurship, art, philosophy, mindfulness and everything I'm curious about and find joy in. I believe that the key to feeling alive is to simply pay attention, to anything & everything around us. I'm constantly putting effort to stay curious & maintain that attentiveness towards the world that we live in.
