About me
Bengaluru, mostly. Somewhere near a whiteboard or behind the wheel.
Builder, operator, deal scout.
I've done a bunch of different things. Student entrepreneurship, building things, consulting, being part of a hacker house and now starting off with deals. To be honest, it feels like I'm bouncing around but it's connected by the same thread throughout. I like being around people who build. Sometimes that means building alongside them, sometimes it means backing them. Capital's the tool, the people are the point.
The world's full of talent. I just want to help set it loose on the problems that matter.
Here's what I've been doing in the last 12 months:
- 💵wrote my first angel cheque — small, but real conviction
- 🌍scouting deeptech and climate deals for an SF-based angel investor, off a sourcing-to-memo pipeline I built myself
- 🇮🇳helped run cohorts 6 and 7 of The Residency Bangalore, a founder hacker house — strategy, fundraise, cohort ops, ~40 founders
- 🤝deal partner at Boardy, making founder introductions and meeting builders across the globe
- 📊paying the bills doing pharma strategy and analytics at ZS Associates
- 🛠️always building something on the side — see the workshop
If you're building something, want to trade notes, or just to say hi — email me.
Thoughts in progress
Mostly thinking about capital, physics, and sustainability these days. Writing to come.
