I'm a data science and analytics professional with over a decade of experience transforming data into decisions. From predictive models to business intelligence platforms, I’ve built and led analytics solutions across industries—from SaaS and domain intelligence to FMCG and pharma. My core strengths lie in Python, SQL, Excel, Tableau, and predictive analytics. I hold an engineering degree from CEG, Anna University, and a PGDM from SP Jain, Mumbai—where I developed a strong foundation in both tech and business thinking.

Fuelled by a lifelong love for cricket, I’m building SportsNerd, a one-of-a-kind cricket strategy game. In this game, users become the captain of a team, making real-time tactical decisions that play out in simulated matches. The idea is to test one’s captaincy skills and cricketing IQ by comparing outcomes with real-world captains. It gives fans a deep, hands-on experience of the pressures and complexities faced by captains on the field.

I’m now looking for a passionate tech co-founder or collaborator—someone who shares this love for cricket and has solid engineering experience to help shape, build, and scale this game into something fans everywhere can play, enjoy, and learn from

The eChai Effect - In Their Words

"We found eChai to be a force multiplier throughout our startup journey. Through it, we connected with folks from DevX, Allevents, Plutomen, and more - many of whom became friends of IndiaBizForSale.com and even part of our clientele."

Bhavin S Bhagat

Co-founder of Indiabizforsale and IBGrid, TiE Ahmedabad President

"eChai has played a truly pivotal role in HummingBird’s journey — even before Day Zero. From ideation to establishment and into growth, it’s been a constant source of support. It connected me with incredible people who’ve become more than just friends. One of the biggest reasons I chose to stay in Ahmedabad is because of the eChai community. It has shaped my growth — both personally and professionally — in ways that are hard to articulate. Honestly, words fall short when I try to express what eChai means to me. I’m deeply thankful and forever grateful to eChai for being such an integral part of my journey."

Founder, HummingBird Consulting Group

"For me, eChai is a second home. I've been associated with it since the early days, when it was already setting a different tone for how startup communities could work. As a traditional business owner entering the new-age D2C space, eChai supported me in every direction. Over the years, it became my window to the startup world — and also gave me lifelong friends who continue to show up, for business and beyond."
