I spent my childhood in small towns across the hills of Himachal. Moving cities (and schools) wasn’t always easy, but taught me the importance of embracing the unknown and persisting with hard work. At times, I had to be homeschooled for months on end. But quality education has been a mainstay for my family. My mother resumed her college studies in her mid 30s and father completed law school in his 40s, attending evening classes after work. Pursuit of a good academic environment brought us to Delhi. I grew up with a passion for physics, puzzling and cricket.

I started an experiential learning company in college. It left me with an insatiable hunger to be around technology builders. While my founder journey was cut short, I decided to do the next best thing – work with early-stage founders. After a formative internship at a tech-focused family office, persistence led me to Peak XV. 

All venture investors effectively seek the same thing: founders who are building enduring enterprises. 

Authenticity, adaptability, and personal experience are qualities that matter the most to me. I have been incredibly fortunate to partner with such founders across financial services, application software, and consumer internet.

What we do is as much about offering as it is about seeking. I bring deep founder empathy and a prepared mind across most themes of financial services. If you’re a technology founder or an operator, I’d love to meet you.
