My focus is the next billion digital users across emerging consumer internet themes and have executed over $200 million of deals across Social Media, Media/Media-tech, Voicetech, EdTech, Social Commerce, Healthcare, & Consumer Goods.

I currently lead Asian region for US-based investment firm, MDIF. I have invested across education, media/content, media-tech and other B2C areas. In my spare time I also mentor a variety of early-stage organizations consumer internet, education and circular economy. 

My leadership experience is further enhanced by my representation as a Board Member in companies across India & SE Asia. I conceptualized and raised MDIF's new funds for India & SE Asia as well.

Earlier, I was a founding team member at the strategy/investment arm of India’s largest media co. – The Times Group – focusing on B2C investments.

Prior to that, I led national content teams focused on Financial Markets at CNBC & Bloomberg.

I received my MBA in Finance from the Indian School of Business, Hyderabad.

I live by the maxim “Follow your curiosity, get focused on knowledge, don't succumb to trends, and show up every day.”
