ABOUT ME
I am a strategic operator who builds systems at the intersection of bits and atoms. Over the last decade I've worked across Agriculture, Health, EdTech, and GovTech, and navigated the chaos of 0→1 startups and architected 1→N digital governance products that serve over 5.3 crore citizens across India.
I firmly believe that the best systems are the ones that are intrinsically human. And I find as much joy in observing people and understanding the nuances of their behaviour as I find in reading a book or in tinkering with ideas. I'd rather be near the real problem than a summary of it, so you’ll often find me in the trenches with my team. Parenting full-time has done more for my patience and attention to detail than any job could. I build for the long game: things that work, that last, and that earn the trust of the people who rely on them.
