About me

Born & raised in Bangalore, I come from “a family of only Engineers & Doctors.” I have a degree in Mechanical Engineering from MSRIT, Bangalore and an MBA from BIM, Trichy

How I got into Investment Banking?

I am a career Investment Banker. Started with SBI Caps running the technology practice out of Bangalore, moved to Masterkey Holdings and subsequently joined IndigoEdge. Before my MBA, I had short stints in Consulting and Tech marketing

What keeps me up at night?

High quality, affordable education and healthcare services are the two main pillars of a thriving society. In a market as vast and complex as India, technology and capital can be leveraged today to catapult the average quality of life to the next level, but aligning interests of key decision makers in these sectors still remains a challenge.

My focus and interest

Early and growth stage companies in Enterprise Tech/SaaS, Ed-Tech, Health-Tech, Consumer-Tech. I also enjoy learning about new technologies and keep a keen eye out to see how attractive business models can emerge in the new paradigm

What excites me?

Dynamic entrepreneurs who don’t take no for an answer and with a never say die attitude. Together with the right proportion of pragmatism, the combination can be deadly.

Best piece of advice given to me

“There are only 2 things in life- Ownership and not”

My advice to entrepreneurs

The fundamental India story is strong and being a nation of entrepreneurs, opportunities are abound. Have a razor sharp focus on the problem, make unit economics work and time it right!

What IndigoEdge is to me?

Right off the bat the camaraderie at IndigoEdge is evident. The fellows are aligned to bring out the best in each other while ensuring the organization as a whole continues to win. As an investment bank, IndigoEdge is unlike any other and this is clearly visible in our engagements with entrepreneurs, investors and deal partners. IndigoEdge is One for All and All for One!

Cooling off
