Throughout the career, I have held influential positions within both Indian corporate giants and dynamic startups, leaving an indelible mark in each organization that I have worked for. My prior roles include pivotal contributions at Merrito (formerly known as NoPaperForms), SmartQ - Compass Group, MYBYK, Justdial Ltd, and IndiaMart InterMesh Ltd. This extensive background has equipped me with a profound understanding of various business landscapes.

I am committed to staying abreast of current industry trends which is evidenced by my recent academic achievement with an alumni status at the prestigious IIM-Ahmedabad.

Beyond the work life, I find solace and joy in the world of music and nature travel.

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."

"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."
