About

Hey,

I’m currently working with atleast 1 of your favorite entrepreneurs in building their social capital😇

I founded Entourage around 1.5 years ago. Since then I’ve learnt why people say being a founder takes away your sleep :)

Anyway, the Entourage team is on its way to become India’s biggest talent management company for entrepreneurs & CXOs, helping them build a social community that’s as strong as their work!

On a personal level, I love the idea of constant learning and re-learning. Hence, you’ll see me visiting many colleges, incubators and VC panels as a speaker/mentor.

Previously, I've worked in Mergers and Acquisitions at KPMG India, learning about how the corporate & the investment banking world works.

Academically, I've been a rank holder in school (scoring 99.8% in Class 12th) and have completed my graduation from Shri Ram College of Commerce, Delhi University.

I was also a part of the core team that organized India's first ever Harvard Asia Conference in association with The Harvard Project for Asian and International Relations.

Recognized at Foxstory 40 under 40, my work and thoughts have also been featured in publications like Hindustan Times. Also awarded as India’s Top 10 educational influencers by Unstop.

Well, this is just a bit of it :)
Always love to chat and explore new synergies!
