Vijay Sharma

I build things.

Over the last decade, I co-founded and scaled India's largest B2B mental health platform to 700+ enterprise clients, 5 million employees, and developing technology that powers 70,000+ therapy sessions each year, in 14+ Indian languages, with 99.99% uptime.
Before that, I was at SAP AI building enterprise products. Before that, I started something that didn't work out... but ended up teaching me more than anything that did.

I also invest in early-stage founders, have spoken at TEDx and IIMs, and developed an unreasonable attachment to Urdu poetry.
