Growth through Utility.

Building the engine to turn "AI" from a buzzword into a daily utility for a billion Indians.

The Indian market is not just a demographic statistic; it is a complex ecosystem of localized frictions and immense aspirations. For 12 years, I haven't just observed this market; I have built digital highways through it. From Hero DigiFin to Vodafone Idea's payment ecosystem, my career is defined by removing friction and scaling utility.
