About

Engineer, then strategy consultant, then founder. Now building AI products and working out who pays for them.

I am a technology and business professional focused on building and scaling AI-driven products and businesses. With a background in strategy consulting and startups, I bridge product, go-to-market and execution disciplines.

I started my career at Accenture Strategy, where I worked on global transformation programs across SaaS, media, and technology companies. Since then I have moved into early-stage environments, founding an AI venture, working closely with founders and driving growth and product initiatives at AI startups.

My work spans 0→1 and 1→N journeys:

  • Launching new business verticals and scaling them to meaningful revenue
  • Building GTM engines, sales pipelines, and partnership ecosystems
  • Leading cross-functional teams across engineering, product, and business

I studied Electrical Engineering at IIT Madras and completed my MBA at IIM Calcutta, where I focused on strategy and graduated among the top of my class.
