My story

Born and raised in a small town in Rajasthan, I left home for higher studies when I was 12. Finished high school in the beautiful city of Udaipur and decided to pursue Chartered Accountancy. Moved to Mumbai in 2018, experimented with short stints across audit and tax during my articleship and decided to pursue a career in finance.

How I got into investment banking

Discovered the start-up ecosystem in 11th standard (2014) when Flipkart was the hottest thing in town. Since then, I always wanted to do something that was start-up facing. Stumbled upon investment banking post my CA and have loved it ever since.

What keeps me up at night

Nothing at all—I fall asleep within five minutes, even during the day!

My advice to entrepreneurs

When it comes to fundraising, the best time to raise capital is when you don’t need it.

My inspirations

My parents and my grandfather - by their resilience and grace in facing life’s adversities.

What excites me

Exploring new businesses, especially those that redefine consumer behaviours—or make people lazier!

Best piece of advice given to me

“Above everything else, don’t lie to yourself.”

What IndigoEdge is to me

A place that tries to bring the absolute best in people and has a culture geared towards growth and excellence.

My key focus and interests

Have been sector agnostic all my life. Have a curbed enthusiasm about AgriTech.

What I enjoy doing in my free time

Catching up with close friends, watching cricket, and diving into random online rabbit holes.
