About Me

I'm a Principal on RTP Global's Asia investment team, based in Bangalore. I focus on early-stage investments in the India and Southeast Asia markets, with particular interest in companies across AI, SaaS, eCommerce, education tech, and consumer internet.

I joined RTP Global in 2020 and prior to venture capital, I was an early member of the Data Science and Business Analytics team at PharmEasy, where I worked closely on search and customer success orchestration functionalities.

I hold a Bachelor's degree in Information Technology from Delhi College of Engineering and an MBA from IIM Calcutta. While at university, I led an organization of 100+ students facilitating international student exchanges and scaled it to six figures in revenue.

Outside of work, I'm passionate about football and am a die-hard Manchester United fan. I'm also an avid traveler and have explored 25+ countries around the world.
