I am an accomplished mechanical engineer and 2x founder passionate about driving innovation and growth. With a robust engineering foundation from NIT-Warangal, I have been fortunate enough to explore multiple entrepreneurial endeavors and contribute positively to the startup ecosystem. I raised for my second venture, before shutting down due to the pandemic.
Throughout my journey, I have had the privilege to mentor over 50 startups, helping them collectively raise > $3M. My expertise lies in providing crucial guidance on fundraising and coaching founders in various vital aspects such as team-building, strategy development, go-to-market planning, customer validation, and more.
I have empowered founders to recognize and rectify critical errors, facilitating pivotal course corrections and even enabling them to make the difficult yet necessary decision of closing down non-viable ventures. As a highly analytical thinker, I employ a first-principle and second-order approach, fostering founders' self-awareness of their capabilities. My inputs go beyond simply capitalizing on current trends but focus on equipping them to build enduring, sustainable, resilient businesses for long-term success.
My motivation as an entrepreneur extends beyond personal success. I am committed to giving back to the startup ecosystem and fostering the growth of entrepreneurs. I envision establishing a thriving environment where founders have the necessary skills and support to transform their ideas into successful ventures.
If you are a passionate founder seeking guidance, support, or collaboration, I am always open to connecting.
