Let's Get Acquainted!
Academia
I have an undergraduate degree in Bachelors of Business Studies (BBS) from the prestigious Shaheed Sukhdev College of Business Studies (CBS), University of Delhi. I joined CBS in 2010 with an All India Rank (AIR) of 51; The entrance examination was given by approx. 15,000 people at the time and was/is a combination of 12th board exam scores, a written test, a group discussion and a personal interview.
I graduated from CBS in 2013 with a first division in academics, a slew of extra-curricular activities & achievements, and a day-zero campus placement offer from Google India Pvt. Ltd.
Professional Work Experience
I, then, went on to work with Google across multiple offices (Gur & Hyd), wearing various hats, interacting with an extremely diverse set of customers from all over the world (and timezones) and a relentless focus on customer pain-points and how to solve for them.
Startups & beyond!
I'm an entrepreneur at heart and I like to build products to solve problems and create companies with or around them. My aim is to build organisations that have a positive impact on peoples' lives, the environment/planet and the coming generations; to have a legacy that gives more to the coming generations than we received from our ancestors.
Currently working on a FinTech venture.

I'm deeply interested in subjects like circular economy, cradle to cradle design thinking, developmental & behavioural economics, mathematics, cosmological physics, art, theatre, literature, and anthropology.
I also like to ponder over life's mysteries, engage in meaningful and, more often than not, heated debates, travel to new places and try out new cuisines.
