ContactOut

I think like a Google bot, designing experiments to validate hypotheses and continuously refine growth strategies.

Key outcomes:

- 2x increase in impression rate and 3x more traffic on the ContactOut website.
- 4x increase in signups by streamlining conversion funnels and aligning them with user needs.
- I live and breathe Google Search Console and Google Analytics to drive insights.
- Build workflows to turn traffic into deals: Traffic → Signups → Enrichment → Lead Assignment → Deals.

Focused on turning data into actionable strategies that fuel long-term growth.

🚀 Helping Builders Become Funded Founders

At Athena VC, we fund solo technical founders before anyone else—no co-founder, no traction, no problem. We invest $50K-$100K for 8% equity and work hands-on for 6 months to help founders validate, build, and launch.

As a Venture Partner, I:
✅ Find & connect with high-potential founders—builders, indie hackers, and technical talent ready to launch.
✅ Help founders navigate the application process and refine their ideas.
✅ Support founders in early-stage validation—connecting them with users, investors, and mentors.

💡 If you’ve built something before, whether an MVP, a side project, or an open-source tool, we want to be your first believer.

📩 DM me if you’re ready to build. Or apply at Athena.vc

As the Head of Growth at Wisdom Hatch, 
I collaborate closely with Akshat Shrivastava, my friend and mentor, on Business Operations, Management, Content research, writing, and Courses.

We aim to build a strong and resilient community of learners and leaders who can achieve their goals and dreams. 

This is a major pivot from my previous field and degree in Computer Science, 
But I have embraced change and stepped out of my comfort zone, thanks to the support of my family and friends.

Before joining Wisdom Hatch, I was an Associate Software Engineer at Qualcomm.
Here I contributed to the development and testing of XR chipsets, enhancing the user experience with cutting-edge technology. 

I also participated in several live consulting work experience programs, where I honed my skills in problem-solving, communication, and content writing. 

Additionally, I held leadership roles in Toastmasters International and Microsoft Campus Club, where I developed my management, public speaking, and teamwork abilities. 

I graduated from the National Institute of Technology Rourkela with a Bachelor of Technology degree in Computer Science in 2022.
