My Story

I have always been a restless and hyperactive student, and having done my schooling and college across different places, I have been exposed to a wide variety of culture and people. I think everything I am today is a piece of every place I have been to and everyone I have met. After completing my MBA, I joined IndigoEdge for the first job of my life, and it has undoubtedly been the beginning of a new chapter in my story – one that I hope will be an important one.

How I got into Investment Banking?

I have always been passionate about technology and startups, while being equally driven by an interest in strategy. When I got the opportunity to be a part of IndigoEdge during my college placements, I gladly took the chance.

What keeps me up at night?

I think sleep is one of the best pleasures of life, up there with food, and try to get as much of it as possible.

My Inspirations

I love focus & simplicity, and nobody personifies it better than Steve Jobs.

My Focus/Interest

Working with and helping passionate founders, being a part of their journey.

What excites me?

Watching companies grow step by step.

Best piece of advice given to me

Not an advice but a quote I heard on a show, “Life is not coming at you, but from you.”

My best advice to entrepreneurs

It is important to have a purpose for whatever you do, it is easy to get lost in the noise of the world.

What IndigoEdge is to me?

It started as my first work place, but now I know it is going to be much more.

Cooling Off

I am an avid traveler and try to the best of my ability to attend music festivals and concerts. There is something magical about waking up at a new place and exploring the people, culture and food there, and nothing relaxes me more than that.
