With my new endeavor Foundership, I'm now on a mission to help/enable Web3 Projects /Startup Folks to succeed & scale.

Before Foundership, I started my Startup journey back in 2007, much before startups were "cool." I built Explara for India - an event ticketing and management platform by developing a SaaS solution while living in London and having a day job. 

I relocated to India in 2011-12 and grew Explara by hustling and bootstrapping to VC funding to $11m in gross revenue. Back in the day, I didn't have the ecosystem to support me or correct my mistakes. But, lucky for you, it's all there today! 

With a shoestring budget, I built a successful business & brand Explara, serving thousands of customers worldwide. Explara was my 3rd Startup that went through years of perseverance to withstand numerous failure and shutdown modes to become profitable in 2019. 

I started 2 businesses in London during 2005 & 06, both failed. Before starting up Explara, I was a software product engineer in eBay UK, BBC iPlayer, William Hill Betting platform and TouchNote. Before that, I was part of several startups during the dotcom era of the 2000s in the USA.
