I've spent 10 years building India's largest mental health company. Somewhere in between scaling to 600+ enterprise clients and delivering 70,000+ therapy sessions annually, I realized something: the hardest problems in business can't be solved with logic alone. Sometimes you need a 1,000-year-old Zen koan.
Currently: Co-Founder & CTO at Silver Oak Health. Leading Product, Tech, and Security for a platform that 4.5 million employees trust with their mental wellbeing.
Previously: Product Owner at SAP AI. Founded and shut down MyFirstCampus (learned more from that failure than any success).
I write about building for Mental health tech, startup strategy, and why Silicon Valley advice often fails here. The blog covers everything from API uptime philosophy to why Indian families make terrible therapists (but mean well). Read the blog →
I speak at IIMs, NITs, and tech conferences about mental health technology, AI in healthcare, and modern business problems. Past talks & speaking info →
Also investing in early-stage founders in my individual capacity. Big fan of Urdu poetry. Originally from Pilani, Rajasthan. Based in Bangalore.
