Investment Team

At General Catalyst, I invest in India-first consumer tech and fintech companies. I most love products and business models that counter position, are disruptive, and sometimes outright weird! This reflects my belief that innovation always starts at the edges, in the most unexpected places.
Prior to joining GC, I was an early-stage investor at Elevation Capital where I looked at investments in fintech and gaming. At Elevation, I was involved in seven new investments and have had the privilege of working with founders across stages. Before that I was at Nomura where I was part of the strategy team, working on projects related to Digital Asset Strategy (helped set up Nomura's crypto entity Laser Digital), Business Optimisation and Capital Markets restructuring.
I graduated from the Indian Institute of Technology Madras with a B.Tech in Chemical Engineering. I was an avid quizzer, powerlifter and an elected representative in college.
When not meeting with founders or typing away at my desk, you’ll find me at the gym, bumping the newest Drake song, gaming or bingeing on history documentaries.
