Growing up in a naval family, I spent my early years in coastal cities before settling in Mumbai. A dislike for physics led me to commerce, and eventually to becoming a Chartered Accountant. After three years in Corporate Finance at Tata CliQ, I decided to pursue my MBA at XLRI, Jamshedpur, to make up for missed college life.

It was during XLRI that I made friends who had first-hand start-up experience and got to see the world through their lens. I quickly became fascinated by the dynamic start-up ecosystem, which led to my inclination towards Investment Banking.

My parents, who’ve given me more than I could ever ask for, and Sudha Murthy, whose story taught me to dream big and believe in myself. She’s the ultimate example of hard work and perseverance, always reminding me to chase excellence and trust that success will follow when we’re driven by the right intentions.

Passionate founders who believe in their ideas, are driven to change lives, and have the determination to make it happen, no matter the challenges.

IndigoEdge is more than just work—it’s a place that feels like family, always there to support you.

Consumer tech, I believe there’s endless potential to change how we live, work, and play. It’s all about innovation that directly impacts us all!
