About
I am a Managing Partner at Emergent Ventures, where I invest primarily at the seed and early stages and work closely with founders through the highest-leverage moments of company-building: finding PMF, designing and scaling GTM, hiring leaders, fundraising, and navigating strategic forks in the road.
Over the years, I’ve partnered closely with 35+ founding teams globally, with outcomes including IPOs across three continents, several successful acquisitions, and companies that have gone on to define and lead their categories. I’ve been focused on Enterprise and B2B AI for the past decade.
Before Emergent, I founded NX Partners to help high-potential AI and SaaS companies accelerate go-to-market. Earlier, I led Intelligent Enterprise investing at NGP Capital, a global venture firm with $1.6B AUM, where I worked across enterprise software, AI, SaaS, cloud, and global technology markets.
Before venture, I worked in product, GTM, engineering, and research roles across startups and larger technology companies. I shipped four enterprise products, helped stand up a big data analytics stack inside a Fortune 100 company, and authored five international patents and deep-tech publications.
My academic background spans Computer Science at IIT Delhi, innovation at MIT, and business at Wharton.
