I’m a Principal at General Catalyst - India, a global investment and transformation company that partners with the world’s most ambitious entrepreneurs to drive resilience and applied AI. At GC, I invest in fintech and consumer companies across stages.

I bring about 12 years of experience in the Indian investing and financial services domain. Before joining GC, I was a Principal at Venture Highway (a seed-stage fund) and a VP at IvyCap Ventures (a Series A/B focused fund). 

My journey as an investor began with an internship at Samara Capital, a mid-market private equity firm. I started my professional career as an investment banker, where I worked on M&A and capital restructuring mandates for banks and insurance companies in the US and Europe.

I did my MBA from IIM Lucknow and my undergraduate degree from SRCC, Delhi University. I’m also a CFA Charterholder.
