03 // about

Strategy that ships.

I'm a strategy and business operations person who likes the messy middle — the gap between a market insight and a number on a P&L. Most of what I've learned came from building two organisations from zero while studying: an edtech company and a financial-literacy nonprofit.

At Nextute Ed.Tech I built the financial model and investor pitch that won a ₹10L Startup Bihar grant, then took the product to 80+ coaching institutes for ₹15L in revenue — refining GTM off the back of 150+ customer interviews. At Vidyaasarr Foundation I run a 25-member team delivering financial literacy to 2,500+ students across 10+ schools, with a curriculum designed alongside practising CAs.

Alongside that: a ₹36L B2B pipeline built at an IoT water-automation company, donor intelligence work at WWF-India, and a sponsorship run that helped land ₹80L+ — including a ₹25L Coca-Cola partnership — for my campus's flagship fest.

I use AI the way a good analyst uses a research team: to compress the boring half of the work and spend the time saved on judgement. Currently reading for a Post Graduate Programme in Technology & Business Management at Masters' Union.
