My Story

Only person in the family of science students (My family has everyone from a soil scientist to civil engineer to computer engineer) to not pursue engineering. Grew up in Jaipur and did my graduation in Economics from Mumbai.

How I got into investment banking?

In my 5th class assignment I figured there is someone call venture capitalist who gives capital to businesses to help them startup. Since then, I was clear I want to do something in the industry and tumbled into banking and loved every day of it since then.

What keeps me up at night?

To be honest I sleep really well, except when I am having a late night gaming session.

My inspirations

Notail and Ceb (Co-Founders of OG)

My focus/interest

I dabbled in Fintech and agritech when I was starting in the industry that still remain my focus area.

Gaming is a sector I am personally excited about.  

What excites me?

Entrepreneurs who are building for the next 20 years and not because the macros are in their favour now.

Best piece of advice given to me

“We’ll Make it” – Master Chief, Halo Combat Evolved

My advice to entrepreneurs

Razor focus on the product and the customers and the rest will follow. Build a business for the next 20 years and don’t listen to the noise around.

Cooling off

I play a lot of videos games and still awaiting for someone to beat me at these games consistently.
