Previously, I co-founded and scaled Dineout, India’s largest dining out and restaurant tech platform. It started as a scrappy startup founder’s dream in 2012 and went onto become a market leader acquired by Swiggy in 2022. Along the way, I learned how to build trust at scale, disrupt traditional industries, and create platforms that outlive the founders who are behind them.
Before entrepreneurship, I spent 10 years in London and worked with BNP Paribas (Investment Banking and Wealth Management) and also earned my CFA charter in 2011. That foundation definitely taught me systems, scale, and resilience but my heart has always been in building and creating.
Beyond my ventures, I also actively invest in and mentor early-stage startups across EV, F&B, healthcare tech, sports tech, mental health, and more backing people and ideas that dare to be different.
From finance to food to healthcare entrepreneurship, my journey has always been about creating access, rewriting rules, and also always proving that the underdog can win.
At TMTC, we’re not just changing how the world heals. We’re changing how the world thinks about possibility.

My early reporting across FMCG, retail, and consumer durables has given me a distinctive lens on branding, market strategy, and consumer behaviour, particularly in the context of new-media and digital-first businesses.
