My Story

Eldest born to a large, close-knit family that celebrates entrepreneurship. Shop talk was the norm at the dinner table. A four-year stint at KPMG for the CA article-ship gave me structure and discipline. And another 8 years of co-founding and heading finance at a construction tech startup taught me everything else I know.    

How I got into investment banking?

Post our startup exit, I was exploring what my options were. A meeting with Zerin and an internship at IE later, I was hooked. The excitement of working with some truly amazing founders, the energy of the startup ecosystem, it’s addictive.  

What keeps me up at night?

I am happy to say – nothing! My kids sleep in a separate room now. I have missed a good night’s sleep for far too many years.

My inspirations 

Master Ping Xiao Po (street name: Kung Fu Panda). The way that guy gets back up every time he goes down. Continuously learning, giving it his everything, every time. Most importantly, doing it in his signature style!

My focus/interest

Honestly, I am still figuring this one out myself. At this stage of my journey, I want to keep working with companies across segments at different stages. Having said that, greentech has been a personal favourite.   

What excites me?

Rockstar founders who are solving problems that need solving. It’s a privilege to be in a position to help them achieve their vision.

Best piece of advice given to me

The Serenity Prayer – “God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference.”

My advice to entrepreneurs

It’s a long, hard, and sometimes lonely ride. Invest in your team, you need good people along for the journey.  

What IndigoEdge is to me? 

Truly one of a kind organisation. The org, and the people that make the org, look out for each other. True to the slogan on the website – “For the strength of the Pack is the Wolf, and the strength of the Wolf is the Pack”. 

And oh, the performance levels here are off the charts. It just keeps you all the more driven to bring the best version of yourself to the table.

Cooling off

Good food. A good fiction read. Solo trips. Time with my kids. Dance classes.
