I am an entrepreneur turned investor currently at General Catalyst - India, a venture capital firm that partners with founders from seed through growth stages and beyond to build companies that withstand the test of time. At GC, I focus on investment opportunities in India.

Prior to joining GC, I spent over a decade in the India tech ecosystem, initially as a founder, and later, as a VC with premier investment firms like Kalaari Capital and Venture Highway. I have investment experience across stages (early + growth) and across sectors (B2C, B2B, SAAS).

As an entrepreneur, I built two e-commerce companies in India for 5 years. My first startup, Artisangilt.com, focused on consolidating the ethnic wear and fashion jewelry markets in India, and was acquired by IGP.com in 2014, after which I moved to IGP as the CEO of the company. IGP is currently the largest online gifting company in India. At both Artisangilt & IGP, I was directly responsible for product, strategy, and marketing.

In my early days, I spent 8 years in capital markets as a sell-side Equity Research Analyst covering mid-to-large cap stocks in the UK/Europe at Lehman Brothers, and then in India at HSBC Securities.

I am an IIT Bombay alum and a CFA charter holder.
