For the last 10+ years, I've had the rare fortune of working with world-class entrepreneurs - as a venture or angel investor, startup team member or growth advisor - in the US and in India.

Experience:
US VC - Investor @ NEA

Startup ops in the US - VP, Bus Dev and early employee @ EverFi (one of the largest edtech networks globally)
Startup ops in India - Key leadership responsibilities related to 4 Lightbox companies

Currently, I am especially spending a large portion of my time on blockchain startups and cryptocurrencies.

Owned or helped solve problems across strategy, M&A, senior hiring, int'l expansion and fundraising while working closely with management at Droom, Melorra, Paymate and Zoomin
