Originally from Bombay, I've lived & worked across London, Bombay, Bangalore & Stockholm over almost 2 decades. I'm currently building a business a Bitcoin cash back business for everyday shopping in the UK & Western Europe.

My Professional Experience from 2008 to 2017 spans two distinct phases of FINance + TECHnology:

I. 2008-13 - FIN: Investment banking, hedge fund investing, fundraising & global strategy/M&A roles across Bombay & London.

II. 2014-17 - TECH: Co-Founder leading Product at 3 early-stage, VC-backed B2C startups in Bangalore (India's Silicon Valley); including 1 exit & backing by Accel.

Fortunately, in December 2017, I survived a near-fatal car crash and am now living my second life with a 3D printed titanium plate in my skull. While recovering gradually (2018-21), I undertook multiple Venture Consulting projects, Qualifications & Startup Experiments.

Upon making a full recovery & post COVID lockdowns, I moved to Stockholm to revamp Truecaller's iOS app in early 2022. Over an intense 7-month marathon, we rolled out of a brand new iOS app, written from the ground up; that helped us double our global iOS users within 4 weeks!

I then leveraged my background in FINance + TECHnology to team up with an old college friend (& ex-colleague) and we've built multiple fintech startups together. I'm now building a business seed funded by Tim Draper at the intersection of Web 2 & 3: rewarding everyday purchases (across 120+ brands) with sats (Bitcoin) as cash back.
