Bio

I am the General Partner and Head of Portfolio at Expert Dojo, one of the most active VC fund & accelerator based in California. I leverage my strategic expertise to maximize the performance and growth of our investments. I oversee a rigorous audit process immediately post-investment, working closely with founders to identify key growth opportunities and implement customized business strategies. My responsibilities extend beyond ensuring optimal returns; I also foster innovation and resilience within our 300+ portfolio companies, continually enhancing our overall investment decisions.

Additionally, I am an angel investor at HBS Angels and serve as an Entrepreneur-in-Residence (EiR), Investments for the Harvard Alumni Entrepreneurs. Here, I execute the investment series, cultivate relationships between HAE founders and investors, and focus on community building.

With over five years of entrepreneurial experience and a background in computer science, management, and finance, I have built a robust foundation in the business world. Growing up in a family involved in the construction and real estate industries ignited my passion for entrepreneurship.

I founded a cement e-commerce company in India, where I was responsible for formulating strategies, supervising execution as a CEO, leading a team of 20+ people, and overseeing operations. My ability to generate innovative ideas and optimize processes, combined with strong research, analytical, and problem-solving skills, has equipped me to navigate the diverse challenges businesses face daily. Furthermore, I have actively advised startups globally across sectors as a Venture Advisor with accelerators and venture capital firms.
