Applied AI, Digital Innovation, and Strategic Growth Leader
From Big Tech to Central Bank Innovation - 16 years across enterprise, consumer, fintech, and private capital backed growth-stage companies in the US, UK, Singapore, and India.
I build products, platforms, verticals, and strategic initiatives at the intersection of technology, business, and impact - and I've done it across the public and private sector, from fintech to central bank innovation, from luxury consumer goods to government AI.
I've founded startups twice before reaching this one. The first was incubated at UPenn through a US National Science Foundation-backed program (2015); the second through Antler VC in Singapore (2019).
In between and alongside, I chose intrapreneurial roles - first-of-their-kind positions inside organisations that didn't have these functions before, and made them into blueprints of category-defining success.
I founded Microsoft's PE/VC partnerships vertical across JAPAC and scaled it to $130M. Launched Asia's first digital gold fintech product from zero to $124M GMV. As a Prime Minister's Fellow on Digital Public Infrastructure, my pilot and scaleup of the programme achieved the highest success rate ahead of all state-level rollouts nationally, including Delhi. And advised the Reserve Bank Innovation Hub on AI use-cases and global growth strategy.
As a new ventures' architect and builder, I build verticals and the teams that run them - from founding-stage units (team strength 5) to cross-organisational programmes at scale (team strength 100).
I hold an MBA from The Wharton School as a Joseph Wharton Fellow (merit-based fellowship), and a Computer Science Engineering degree with distinction where I ranked 1st in a class of 600 (placed on the Dean's List across the entire University).
My third venture, and the one I've been building toward.
