About

The short version
of a longer story.

I grew up in India and came to Canada for my undergraduate degree at the Schulich School of Business, where I completed the iBBA program.

My professional career sits at the intersection of technology and strategy. I've worked across different types of organizations, from government to startups to incubators and accelerators, and I've been closely involved in the startup and innovation community throughout.

Most recently, I spent a year at an AI startup helping venture capital firms with due diligence and deal flow management. It was the best education I could have asked for in how companies actually grow: I ran outbound campaigns, built research products, managed CRM operations, and watched hundreds of startups pitch, raise, and stumble.

Somewhere in that year, AI tools went from a curiosity to my default way of working. I now build working prototypes for most of my ideas, run my research and outreach through automations I created, and spend real time each week testing whatever new tool just came out. This site is one output of that habit.

I'm based in Toronto and open to conversations about growth, strategy, and AI-first operations roles, and equally happy to compare notes with anyone building in this space.

Hiring, building, or comparing notes on AI tools?

Let's talk.
