From chemical engineer to the person founders call

I studied Chemical Engineering at IIT Kharagpur, where everything is an input, an output and a balance. I still look at a business that way.

In 2016 I co-founded ItnaEasy and ran business development, marketing, procurement, tech and operations myself. That taught me what no job description does: how every function pulls on the others.

Since then I've been the operator behind growth at Kapiva, Wellthy, WhiteHat Jr, Skill-Lync and Masters' Union, and a founder again with three ventures of my own. Founders trust me with the work that sits between the vision and the numbers.

How I work

Decide with numbers

I write down the metric that will prove a plan worked before I start. If it can't be measured, I rework the plan.

Make the dashboard first

At Masters' Union I built daily tracking dashboards for Operations, so leaders see the truth without chasing anyone.

Own the whole loop

I've run product, partnerships, marketing and operations in my own ventures, so I know what each team needs from the others.

Zero escalations

Handling ₹50 Cr+ in gift card procurement twice with no escalations came from process design, not heroics.

Outside work

Travel Lifting weights Movies

Travel and training keep me curious and consistent. Movies are how I switch off.

Let's talk.
