With nearly a decade of hands-on experience in building and nurturing deep tech startups in India, I love working with deep tech innovators and fostering entrepreneurial success. My journey started right after college when I joined as the founding team member of India's pioneering enterprise drone solutions startup. Over the last five years, I have helped raise seed funding and scaled the growth of a cutting-edge Gen AI startup, while also collaborating with ed-tech companies to gamify coding education for children. Additionally, I've led thriving global Web 3.0 communities for one of India's biggest production houses looking to break into the blockchain space.


More recently, I worked with the world's most active seed-stage venture capital firm, to shape their investment thesis and positioning for India's ONDC platform. Presently, I am contributing to India's foremost open-source initiatives.

As I embark on the next phase of my career and life journey, I want to immerse myself in the heart of the deep tech ecosystem as an investor and a trusted partner to visionary founders operating at the convergence of research, technology, and impactful innovation. My goal for business schools is to further refine my skills and knowledge and shape myself to ultimately make a lasting impact on the world of deep tech entrepreneurship and innovation.

I believe that with the guidance of an MBA admissions consultant, I can convey my unique story and ambitions effectively to secure a spot in a top-tier business school and continue my mission of driving technological and societal change.

PS: I also had a side hustle co-founding an organic peanut butter company which didn't pan out well though!

Hi. You have a nice story and a good profile!

I am not sure if you considered Stanford MSx or Judge? Both of those seem to have some or significant focus on VC.
P.S. i will ping some consultants to see if they can suggest anything as well for VC.

Thank you so much BB! I thought Stanford MSx would be competitive but Judge is definitely an option.

Sure. MSx is competitive but not impossible. It is unique enough program that you would fit in well and that makes your chances better. The question is whether you would fit into the Bay area VC mold and whether you want to stay there vs. Europe and that you would benefit from the network in the area.
