About Me

Most recently, I worked at Yipit – my favorite Internet startup in New York. I joined it after dropping out of NYU Stern School of Business where I was pursuing fulltime MBA in Entrepreneurship and Finance. Some of my notable and useful experiences in Business Schools included learning accounting, financial modeling, writing business plans, organizing Stern’s first Entrepreneurship Conference, interning at a four people fintech startup, Fundspire and a venture capital firm, Veronis Ventures and providing consultations to couple of startups as part of InSITE fellowship program.

Prior to joining business school, I worked as a software engineer in wireless systems and Wall Street. I did MS in Computer System from University of Illinois, Urbana Champaign.

I aspired to start my own venture some day and promote entrepreneurship among youths in India. To realize it, I founded FESTSY, my venture to make fashion more accessible in India – http://festsy.com

About This Blog

On this page, I play the part of a raconteur trying to put whats happening around in perspective. Here, I discuss practical issues.

The new focus of this blog is on transcribing my experiences of pursuing entrepreneurial career, living down the Business School and aftermath of it all. I occasionally discuss issues relevant to India – politics, social dogma, education etc. Rest depends on my mood.

Finally, I write for fun and I hope you have fun reading it.
