Hello Readers!

Imagine someone who's always thinking about ideas, talking about startups, and to hell with interacting with every startup he can spot in his life, and writing about it. 
That's me!

To give you a bit about me, I am currently working in a Business Growth and strategy role following a 10-month stint as a brand manager leading the BTL and ATL strategy for Mooofarm.

Earlier, I worked with Byju's in a marketing role as a part of their flagship, the Future Leadership Programme. It was exciting, but I was laid off as part of Byju's fiasco.

Academically, I earned my MBA in Marketing and Finance from MDI, where I was honoured with the Chairman's gold medal. Yeah, I do hit the books sometimes! 
Before that, I completed my Bachelor's in Commerce from Shaheed Bhagat Singh College. 

Raised in Gaya, Bihar, I then moved to Patna, followed by Delhi, West Bengal, and Bangalore, and currently settled in Gurgaon.

Do reach out if you have any interesting propositions, or want to have a chat.
