Backstory:
I have spent nearly three decades in the Listed Equity Markets, always believing that disciplined research and process are what separate good investments from great ones. My journey began with building the research desk at Reliance Mutual Fund, where I learned the power of deep, fundamental analysis.
Life then took me to New Zealand, where I worked with a boutique investment bank, exploring merger arbitrage strategies. That experience broadened my perspective on global markets and deal-making.

My most defining role was as Co-Head of Listed Equities at Premji Invest. Scaling the fund from ₹4,000 crore to over ₹35,000 crore taught me what it truly means to manage large pools of capital while staying grounded in conviction-led investing.

On the Lookout for:
I have always been drawn to companies with a strong moat, credible management, and a clear path to sustained growth. My focus remains on businesses where fundamentals align with scalable potential, whether in traditional industries or emerging sectors.

At this stage of my journey, I am excited by entrepreneurs who are deeply committed to building enduring businesses, not just chasing market cycles. If there’s a company with the DNA to compound value over time, that’s where you’ll find me.
