I love working with entrepreneurs, building disruptive products through innovation and technology. I help startups to create a scalable business model and optimize operations. I have enjoyed working with hundreds of founders and my core expertise is in business strategy, team building, investments, and partnerships. I have been an entrepreneur myself and consider myself fortunate to have gained working experience in all the major business aspects from P&L to operations. I have worked with non-profit, corporate & government organizations one thing in common is being a part of the startup ecosystem I have always worked in a fast-paced environment with lean team structures. Having worked in a global environment, I have a good network of angel investors, VC’s, different communities and other stakeholders of the startup ecosystem. My personal and professional experience has taught me the following about myself: I love when I get to say ‘We” – I have worked with 180+ startups and global teams - I am a team player and like to brainstorm new ideas. - I like to work in a flat organization structure where everyone gets to put his or her views forward openly. - I like to create an environment of collaboration with “competitive” organizations. - I am good at making partnerships happen and converting them to long-term relations Learn-> build -> repeat - I can take products from concept to commercialization - My instincts are good but taking decisions on data give me more satisfaction - I put the customer in the center of all that I do. - I educate, refine and drive myself to be a better person I love watching National Geographic and recently have developed a taste for documentaries on online streaming platforms as well. I am not a sports fan (“yes not even cricket”) but like to play TT and swimming. I enjoy meeting new people especially those with very strong opinions and new perspectives, while I strongly believe in data, logic, however, while meeting someone, and during discussions, I keep a view of “anything is possible”. Reach out to me if you want to talk about emerging tech, market trends, product development, startups, fundraising or FOOD.
