After having built a business in India for almost a decade, and watched many entrepreneurial journey’s up close, and having been privy to intimate conversations and challenges, I wanted to write about tye world of private markets.

No jargon. No polish. Just the real thing.

About me

Just another someone who still thinks my learning is unique and deserves a voice. I have had the good fortune of being in a business of working with startups where no two days are the same. Where we meet passionate, committed, at times almost fool hardy founders, who give up so much to change their life and the lives of people around them.

I live in Bangalore (mostly) while traveling around the country and sometimes beyond the borders. I am a sucker for Bollywood, deep conversations, learning and genuine banter. I fall in love easily and I love to hear stories of bravery - it can be the bravery of having had a hard conversation with your boss or your partner, the bravery of having attempted to run when you can only fast walk, the bravery of being able to accept your faults easily and be vulnerable. I love to read about fitness and healthy eating, I love the beach and the mountains. I am inspired by simplicity.

And this list will change as I learn and grow everyday!
