I was born in Faridabad, India, where my family lived on about $200 a month. One year, we had everything stolen—even the light bulbs. That moment shaped my obsession with security, self-reliance, and building things that protect people.
That obsession led me from India to Singapore to the U.S., where I dove headfirst into hackathons, app development, and engineering. I built award-winning iOS apps, including one that placed 1st out of 200+ projects at HackGT. After stints at Amazon, Nordstrom, and SoFi, I realized that building within big companies couldn’t match the thrill—and growth—of doing it on my own.
In 2021, I co-founded Cashmere, a crypto wallet built for institutions. We raised $3.7M+ from Y Combinator (W22), Coinbase, and FTX, and grew to 900+ business clients with $100M+ AUM. I closed key accounts like OpenSea and Dragonfly Capital, built the first product version myself in React, Next.js, MongoDB, and Rust, and run a team across engineering, design, marketing, and ops.
If you're building in this space—or want to—I'd love to connect.
