In 2020, I was running a maternal health venture out of a WhatsApp thread. No app, no funding, no team, just me, manually coordinating appointments between 23 mothers and 8 healthcare providers, one message at a time. A year later, I was inside Globant, redesigning how a $41M partnership with Microsoft actually worked, watching it scale past half a billion dollars in contract value. Different scale, same instinct: find the thing nobody's built yet, and build it with whatever's actually on hand.
That's the honest thread across everything on this site, not a title, not one industry. Sometimes it's shown up inside a company that already exists, redesigning a partner organization, pitching a CEO on a relationship that didn't exist yet. Sometimes it's shown up because I started something myself. I'm drawn, in particular, to the problem of knowing what something is actually worth before the investment goes in, a market, a partnership, a business case, rather than justifying it after the fact. That instinct runs under the Globant and Luminus work specifically, and under most of my thinking generally.
My training is in strategic design and management (Parsons School of Design, The New School), built on product design and engineering (Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore), and rooted originally in industrial and production engineering (SGSITS, Indore). Professionally, that's played out at 3M India, Globant, and Fleetworthy, alongside two ventures I built myself and a third I'm building right now.
