About
me.
I grew up in Nashik, started companies before I really knew what I was doing, and ended up in London learning the other half of the trade. The building never stopped - finance just gave it sharper problems to chase.
These days that means private markets at a Tier 1 investment bank, building in the margins, and writing when I have something worth saying.
The bet I'm making: the interesting work in finance over the next decade gets done by people who can read a term sheet and ship the code. I'm trying to be one of them.
How a founder ended up
in private markets.
Founder
Two companies at 16. One shipped websites. The other sold puppies and trained them. Both lived in one bedroom in Nashik.
Advisory Board Member
A Sussex sea farm needed someone who'd built things before. Led GTM and fundraising - turning an idea into something restaurants actually paid for.
Investment Advisor (Qualified)
£45M+ AUM as a qualified advisor - 122% of target, best-performing consultant of the year. Spent the rest of the day building products the platform eventually adopted.
Asset and Wealth Management Consultant
Went into consulting to see big organizations from the inside. Two years across problems that rarely share a desk - tax policy one week, NAV automation the next, AI rollouts the week after. Came out with C-suite instincts - wired to think in billions.
Associate in Private Markets
Day job: bring AI into corners of the firm that never had it, and make slow processes fast. Unsaid job: be the institutional memory people walk over to consult. The founder thing didn't leave - it just moved indoors.
