§ 01 — About

A non-linear journey, still in motion

Who · Why

I've always been fascinated by technology and its power to solve real problems. That curiosity led me to co-found Invoid — a venture that caught the eye of Y Combinator (W21) and went on to a successful acquisition.

Since then I've operated at senior product roles inside a regulated lender and a private-markets platform — but the deeper pull has always been the capital side of the table. Today I'm SEBI-certified (NISM XIX-D, AIF Cat I & II) and spend most of my time on private investments, fund work, and advising founders.

I back early-stage AI, fintech, and consumer businesses where I have real conviction — and pass quietly where I don't. Always up for a good conversation about the next big idea, or the next quiet, contrarian one.

§ 02 — Work

Where my capital, time & conviction go

Four lanes
№ 01 / Invest

Backing founders early

I spend most of my time on private investments — across early-stage AI, fintech, and consumer. SEBI-certified (NISM XIX-D, AIF Cat I & II). I bring operator instinct, founder empathy, and a network built across one exit and two countries. I write cheques where I have real conviction, and pass quietly where I don't.

№ 02 / Advise

Fund work & family-office advisory

I advise on private market investments — sourcing, diligence, and portfolio thinking. I've worked inside a private-markets platform alongside LPs, GPs, and fund managers, and I currently scout for an international deep-tech fund. I read PPMs the way some people read novels.

№ 03 / Build

Founder, operator, exit

I founded a venture in AI infrastructure that grew across regulated fintech and was acquired in a founder-led, cash-out exit. I've since operated at senior product roles inside a regulated lender and a private-markets platform — and the operator's lens shows up in every investment I make.

№ 04 / Write & tinker

Words, tools, weekends

I write about founders, product, and private markets for a community of 15K+ across LinkedIn and Instagram. I mentor early-stage founders. And I still ship things on weekends — Chrome extensions, AI tools, small experiments — to stay close to the metal.
