My journey as a Chartered Accountant began with leadership roles at Deloitte and strategic contributions as a Senior Analyst at Nomura. Yet, it's my passion for building startups that truly defines my professional path. I've not only embraced but also led the creation of innovative platforms, each marking a pivotal chapter in my entrepreneurial story.
I co-founded Artisaga Enterprises to bridge artisans with global markets, then worked on building Stake Swap, a liquidity platform for startup investments. My drive didn't stop there; I co-founded Altin, a venture for fractional ownership in passion assets, and Legendary Stamps, an NFT platform on the Solana blockchain. Despite the hurdles that led to my exit from these ventures or shutting the entire thing down, the journey enriched my expertise and resilience. And I also strongly feel if you dont fail enough,you dont learn enough.
Amid these endeavors, the stock market has been a constant companion, offering insights and learnings that paralleled my startup experiences. Now, as I embark on my fifth venture, this background shapes my approach, blending finance acumen with startup agility.
I'm on a quest to harness my learnings from both successes and setbacks, aiming to contribute to and transform the dynamic business landscape. Let's connect to share insights and forge paths of innovation and growth.
