I’m a serial entrepreneur, startup advisor, and early-stage investor with a passion for building and nurturing innovative technology ventures. With over 17 years of experience in the startup ecosystem, I’ve worn multiple hats - from founding companies to mentoring the next generation of entrepreneurs.
Entrepreneurial Journey#
My entrepreneurial journey began with Kwippy (2008-2010), one of India’s pioneering Web 2.0 startups that was recognized among DataQuest’s Top 25 Indian Web 2.0 startups. Since then, I’ve founded multiple ventures, including Boom Labs (2021-2022), which worked on bridging Web2 and Web3 technologies through innovative multi-chain API solutions.
Building Ecosystems#
I’m deeply committed to strengthening the startup ecosystem. As a Joint Program Leader and Fellow at the Startup Leadership Program in New Delhi (2011), I helped nurture emerging entrepreneurs while continuing my own learning journey. My involvement with the Financial Inclusion Lab (2018) reinforced my belief in technology’s power to drive social change.
Investment Philosophy#
As an investor and advisor, I focus on early-stage startups where I can add value beyond capital. I believe in supporting founders who combine technical excellence with social impact, particularly in areas like:
- Financial Technology
- Web3 and Blockchain
- Social Impact Technologies
- Enterprise Solutions
Community Building#
I’m passionate about building communities that foster innovation and entrepreneurship. Through various initiatives and mentorship programs, I work to create environments where entrepreneurs can learn, grow, and succeed together.
Current Focus (2025)#
Today, I continue to actively contribute to the startup ecosystem through:
- Advisory & Mentorship: Working with early-stage founders on product strategy, technology architecture, and go-to-market execution
- Angel Investing: Supporting promising ventures in fintech, Web3, and social impact technologies
- Ecosystem Building: Participating in programs and initiatives that strengthen entrepreneurial communities
- Knowledge Sharing: Documenting lessons learned and insights from nearly two decades in the startup ecosystem
My approach remains hands-on and founder-focused, emphasizing practical guidance over theoretical frameworks. I’m particularly interested in supporting founders who are building at the intersection of technology and social impact.
