Summary
From a village school to VIT, my journey has been a diverse learning experience across various cultures and languages, including those of Rajasthan, Punjab, Gujarat, and Tamil Nadu. Despite never visiting Germany, I’ve also picked up the German language along the way.
During my college years, I became deeply involved in startups, igniting my passion for entrepreneurship. My involvement in building a hybrid-powered racing car and participating in a competition in the USA fueled my love for motorsports.
I’ve had the opportunity to create and lead both hardware and software startups. One of my early ventures, a 3D printing startup in 2018, turned profitable. I later launched an agency catering to individuals and businesses, which evolved into developing business management software for MSMEs. My experience at Refyne, India’s first employee financial wellness platform, a well-funded startup with over 150 employees, provided me with valuable insights into managing a rapidly scaling business and the complexities of driving further growth.
I’ve gained experience across B2B, B2B2C, and B2C. My focus is now on scaling ventures from early traction to mass-market adoption, particularly in the consumer product space. I’m grateful for the opportunities and challenges I’ve encountered, and I’m excited about the journey ahead as I continue to build impactful products and businesses.
