The best ideas don’t need consensus - they need conviction

Globally, the last 40 years have been a testament to how startups + private capital can power the flywheel that democratizes access and accelerates the future.

I’m thrilled to further that at Elevation, especially focusing on consumer tech. What makes me excited is that we are witnessing a wave of inflection points- not just in tech, but also in how consumer habits in India are being reshaped- how, where, and when we spend our time, money, and trust is evolving.

The most rewarding part is getting to work with founders from day one, when their ideas are still taking shape, and being able to contribute meaningfully to their journeys. I believe founders are an absolutely different breed: smart, deeply passionate, and with a chip on their shoulder. Being around them is so energizing and pushes me to rethink my assumptions about the world.
