From Electrical Engineering to 300+ Startups
100+ business books read, all available MIT business courses completed, and 16+ hour daily work ethic since 2018.
"My ultimate goal is to build a unicorn that helps 10M+ people."
It started in 2016 when I built and managed 12+ Instagram accounts from scratch. Several grew to 70,000+ followers, others to 40,000+, and many more reached the 1,000–5,000 range. At the time I was studying electrical engineering, but I quickly discovered that marketing, psychology, and distribution were my true passion.
After graduating in 2018, I moved full-time into business development and marketing roles. An MBA in India was extremely competitive, so instead of waiting, I invested heavily in self-education. I read over 100 books on marketing, business, and strategy, and completed every available MIT business-related course.
That foundation paid off. Over the past six years I’ve worked with 300+ Web3 and crypto startups, helping them with marketing strategy, business development, community growth, and go-to-market execution. I’ve consistently worked 16+ hour days throughout this period.
Building a Unicorn that Helps 10M+ People
Every growth system, product launch, and distribution campaign I architect is driven by a singular long-term vision: building and scaling a transformative company that impacts more than 10 million lives.
