Bio

We're building specialized AI agents for banks to 10x back office functions. I previously founded and scaled 2 VC-backed companies to millions of users, hundreds of employees, and tens of millions raised from top-tier VCs, including General Catalyst's Hemant Taneja. Fun fact: Fought goons in a train robbery in Mumbai and got the National Bravery Award from the Indian Prime Minister & President.
