About

For two and a half years, I was the person a founder handed the messy half of the business to: the fundraise, the financial model, the government proposal due Friday.

I like problems that don't come with a template. I studied economics, learned how consultants think by finding them experts, and learned how founders think by working next to one.

Journey

2019–22

St. Xavier's College, Mumbai

Economics. I learned why markets behave the way they do, but not yet how companies get built.

2022–23

Guidepoint

I matched BCG, Bain and private-equity teams with the right industry experts on tight deadlines, and brought in $75K+ in revenue. It was a crash course in cold outreach and asking sharp questions.

2023–26

Little Place Labs

I worked remotely for a Texas space-tech startup that runs AI on satellites. I helped raise ~$2M in seed commitments and wrote a $110K US Air Force proposal. I co-wrote decks that won SXSW 2025 and an award at TechCrunch Disrupt 2025, and helped take us to the $5M XPRIZE Wildfire semi-finals.

Ad astra per aspera

To the stars, through hardship.

I spent three years at a company building for orbit. Nothing there got off the ground without a rough patch first.

Work

Built for fun

The Tab

A web app for friends who keep score badly, on purpose

A ledger for favours between friends. There's no money, no numbers and no settling up. You log who did what and roughly how big it was, and nothing counts until the other person confirms it. The premise is that a perfectly even friendship is a finished one.

Built for fun

Epiphany

A little uphill battle.

A game about Sisyphus, a boulder, and the decision to push again. Inspired by Camus, it turns an endless uphill task into a small question about effort and meaning. The rock comes back. What you make of that is yours.

Off-hours

I've recently started bouldering, the rare sport where falling is most of the practice.

I read philosophy, classic literature and poetry. My favourite book is The Fountainhead. Roark's refusal to build anything he didn't believe in is still the standard I hold my own work to.

Say hello.

An idea that needs a company around it, a question, or just a good book to recommend.
