As the Investments Lead at Sinar Mas, I manage investments in the early-stage tech ecosystem in India, scouting for promising startups and supporting them with capital, mentorship, and network. By educational qualifications, I am a CFA, with a Bachelor's Degree in Statistics from Kirorimal College, Delhi University.
Prior to joining Sinar Mas, I spent four years at Carpediem Capital Partners, a leading growth-stage PE fund in India, where I managed portfolio companies across various sectors, such as mobile retail, QSR, value retail, and microfinance. I was part of the deal team that successfully exited Yaantra, a mobile refurbishment platform, with a 4x return and a 33% IRR. I also contributed to the due diligence, documentation, and valuation of several deals in the consumer, consumer-tech, and business services space. I am passionate about finding and nurturing innovative and impactful businesses that can create value for all stakeholders.
