// About — chapter by chapter

Strategy is the easy part.
The hard part is making it real.

I've spent eight years figuring out how to take big, ambitious ideas and turn them into systems that actually run — across banking floors in Mumbai, consulting rooms in Dubai, and a startup in San Francisco where I currently get to build pretty much everything from scratch.

portrait · about hero

I started my career in corporate banking at Barclays, executing $2B+ of deals across Mumbai and Singapore. It taught me how money actually moves and how to keep your head straight when the room is loud and the stakes are high.

Then I went to IIM Bangalore for an MBA, where I picked up the habit of asking better questions before I jumped to answers. After that, I joined Strategy& (PwC) in Dubai as a Senior Consultant. Three years there: scaling a national health platform to 25M+ users, designing the digital strategy for FIFA 2034 stadiums, leading government-wide transformation programs — and being one of three firm-wide generative AI champions across 100+ consultants.

In 2025, I joined Chronicle as Chief of Staff to the founders. We're building an AI-powered presentation platform backed by Accel and used by 5,000+ teams. My job is, basically, the rest of the org chart: I built compliance from zero (SOC 2, ISO 27001, GDPR), scaled the team from 10 to 20, redesigned GTM, and helped drive 30%+ ARR growth — usually all in the same week.

The thread through all of it: I like clarity. I like turning a whiteboard full of post-its into a system someone can actually run tomorrow morning. I like teams where the smartest person in the room isn't always the loudest. And I really like a good cup of chai.
