About
Like a typical Virgo, I prefer to hound my skillsets to perfection daily in both my personal and professional life. I like fitness and outdoor activities and love exploring new cuisines, experiences, and travel destinations. At times, I also enjoy watching reruns of Conan O'Brien, John Oliver, or some light-hearted movies.
My hobbies include long-distance swimming (I swam 8 km across Seliger Lake in Russia), Olympic triathlons, weight lifting, cooking, and meditation.
Other aspects I enjoy include joyful moments with loved ones, phases of resonance after deep work, stimulating conversations, killer workouts, and sunsets.
Profession
I am the Founder of Bijak, India's leading Agriculture company spread across 28+ states and 1500 regions. Bijak is backed by well-renowned global investors such as Sequoia Capital, Bertelsmann (BII), Omidyar Network, Omnivore Partners, etc.
I started my career with India's leading Investment banks and Venture Capital funds. Later on, I moved to pursue operational roles across start-ups. Although I had various opportunities to pursue MBA from Ivy League universities across the US, I was optimistic about India's story and entrepreneurial landscape here; hence didn't go for my MBA.
