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. 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.

Currently : Co-Founder & CTO at Silver Oak Health. Leading Product, Technology, and Information Security.

Previously: Product Owner at SAP AI. Founded an ed-tech company MyFirstCampus.

I write about building businesses, AI applied to real problems, enterprise lessons from India, and why most startup advice doesn't survive the journey from California to Coimbatore. Also: Zen koans, Urdu poetry, and why Indian families make terrible therapists. Read the blog →

I speak at TEDx, IIMs, NITs & conferences about building at scale, AI, contrarian business thinking. . 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.
