personal life
as an introvert with limited social life, I spend disproportionate time of my day exploring one of the many rabbit roles, meditating or reading books. I love sushi and good coffee
due to my 900+ hours yoga-meditation training from The Yoga Institute and 1000 hours of yoga therapy practice from Kaivalyadham Yoga Institute, I also teach yoga to a few selected students on the weekends
work
As an entrepreneur, I built the world’s first matchmaking app for differently-abled people, Inclov. I was also a founding member of Jupiter , the neo-banking startup, and led the product strategy and growth for the company in its early days.I am also an investor some startups focused on health and climate-tech. My portfolio includes Accacia, Exponent Energy, Llama, Metastable Materials, Biddano, etc.Due to my work at Inclov, I received a special invitation to meet with Hon'ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi and his cabinet including the late Shri. Arun Jaitely and late Shri. Sushma Swaraj. This was an important moment because I was able to provide value to the society in deeply profound ways which has been rare and unusual for me.
