Building a Hands-on Accelerator for Services. AI companies
Ye meri kahaani hai! Definitely TL;DR, but here goes:
Ever since I was young, I knew I wasn't the smartest person in the room – but I always knew I’d outwork a lot of them!
At 19, while studying at BIT Mesra, I joined a startup at NSRCEL, IIM-B and climbed to the top in no time. No, we didn’t scale to hundreds of crores, but we hit a few crores – and I realized I love building things from scratch more than anything.
Another thing I figured out: I love giving back. Whether it was giving sessions at IIM-B on the magic of content writing, helping early-stage founders to build playbooks, or getting my alma-mater placed during the brutal Covid placement season – this stuff gives me life.
Life threw a curveball when I shifted to B2B SaaS, and once I worked with Almabase and Outplay, I knew this was my next big bet.
Since then, I’ve helped hundreds of founders build SDR teams and crack their US GTM – not the traditional way, but by really thinking out of the box. Oh, it's really out of the box. I honestly can’t remember a time when I shared my ideas with a team, and they weren’t surprised.
Life has gotten better always unexpectedly, which is how I met Sri – my co-founder at Shifu Ventures and former boss & Co-Founder of Almabase. A really nice vibe fit & I could see betting on B2B SaaS together with him for quite some time.
We’ve done quite some wild things together – like traveling across India to uncover the unheard B2B stories through B2B Yatra while also working with multiple Services.AI companies in Shifu.

I'm more from 'JUST WORK'.
Sports is my meditation. My goal is to take on a new sport every three years and crush it! This year, it’s all about Triathlons, and I'm on my way to completing an Ironman.
Before that? I’ve represented my college in badminton, been a district swimming champion, a table tennis school champ, and so much more.
The best bet to schedule a meeting with me? Find a sport, and we shall play together! :)
This is me, always pushing, always evolving – both in work and in life.
