// the person behind the work

The arc.

I grew up in Mumbai, studied engineering, then pivoted to strategy consulting because I was more interested in why businesses work than how circuits do. That pivot turned into a decade of working across four countries, four industries, and four very different rooms — each one teaching me something the previous one couldn't.


I'm currently Chief of Staff at Chronicle AI in San Francisco, based in the UAE on a Golden Visa. I think in systems, move fast, and have a slight obsession with making things that actually work — not just things that look good in a deck.

AI Building
I build with Claude and Lovable. Three live apps. I use AI to prototype fast, test ideas, and ship things that would otherwise take a full engineering sprint.

The off-script version.

🎲
Board games
Strategy games, specifically. Catan, Ticket to Ride, Wingspan. I take them more seriously than I probably should.
🏃
Running
Early mornings, long distances. It's the one hour of the day where I'm not optimizing anything.
🌍
Building NewRoots
Small-group meetups for expats in the UAE. Because moving to a new country is hard and community infrastructure matters.
📚
Reading
Mostly non-fiction. Currently reading about AI agents, urban planning, and how organizations actually change.
💻
Building apps
Three live projects built with Claude and Lovable. I build things when I can't find a tool that does exactly what I need.
✈️
Mumbai → Dubai → SF
Three cities, three very different operating environments. Each one changed how I think about scale, speed, and what "getting things done" actually means.
