Grateful learner | IIT Bombay, IIM Bangalore | Journey through finance and education

I’ve been fortunate to learn from both the corporate world and the startup ecosystem. My academic journey took shape at the Indian Institute of Technology Bombay (B.Tech. CS, 2006-2010)and later at the Indian Institute of Management Bangalore (MBA, 2012-14).

Early in my career, I worked with Deutsche Bank in Mumbai and New York, and later at Goldman Sachs in London. These years gave me a chance to understand the financial world closely and learn from inspiring colleagues across continents.

Over time, I felt drawn toward building something more personal and impactful. In 2018, I co-founded Exambazaar.com, a platform created to make it easier for students to explore and compare test preparation options across India.

Building on that experience, I later started Edzy.ai - an AI-powered platform with the simple hope of making learning more engaging, personalized, and accessible for students.

Alongside these ventures, I’ve also had the joy of mentoring startups and learning from fellow entrepreneurs. Each interaction reminds me how much there is still to learn and contribute.

In many ways, my journey has been less about titles or roles and more about curiosity, growth, and the people I’ve been privileged to work with. I continue to explore, learn, and share wherever I can.
