Who I Am

From the hills of Chamba to the front lines of Fintechs.

I grew up in Chamba, Himachal Pradesh, studied Forestry at Nauni, and went on to do my PGDM in Agribusiness at NIAM, Jaipur. Over the last six years I’ve worked across Samunnati, Ninjacart, and now PaperClip — building anchor financing programmes, partnerships and trade businesses that help Indian agri & MSME ecosystems unlock capital and markets.
