Currently

  • Co-Founder & CTO - Silver Oak Health

    I oversee the entire Product, Technology and Information Security stack at Silver Oak Health. I have the privilege of leading a team of the smartest people, and developing some of the phenomenal, first-of-its-kind digital products in the mental health space.  We've built a complete digital ecosystem of Apps & Dashboard that 500+ companies trust with the mental wellbeing of their 35+ lakh employees.


  • Angel Investor

    Backing founders and investing in my personal capacity, particular interest areas being Enterprise Tech, Consumer Space & Future of work. The portfolio includes Snap E Cabs, Superbottoms, Julius, Tako, and a couple of stealth startups that are developing something interesting.

In the past

  • I was working as a Product Owner at SAP AI (much before AI became this mainstream), I was responsible for the research & development of SAP’s one of the most promising suites of applications in the field of AI. Was a great and humbling experience to see how enterprise software is developed at scale. Spoiler alert: it involves way more meetings than anyone expects, but the end result actually works for millions of people across the globe.

  • I also founded My First Campus, a start-up in the field of computer-adaptive assessments to help companies find the best quality talent. This was selected for SAP Startup Focus. Learned a lot about what NOT to do, which turned out to be an incredibly valuable education.

Also

  • Organised a India Level hackathon Restart India to building solutions around problems that arose due to the ongoing COVID- 19 pandemic.

  • Developed a easy to understand COVID Analytics dashboard during the peak COVID-19 chaos called TheCovidAnalytics

  • Published a 2025 Shayari Calendar, because I'm a big fan for Urdu poetry and believe the world needs more beautiful words.

  • Spent some time at IIM Bangalore learning about business. Understood that the best strategies often come from actually talking to customers.

  • Originally from Pilani, a sleepy desert town in the state of Rajasthan.

  • I’m based out of Bangalore (the Silicon Valley of India, but with better weather and spicier food :-P).
