founder, aarnâ

i'm building aarnâ — taking India's capital markets onchain. tokenized access to Indian financial assets for global investors, issued as regulated digital securities. the thesis is simple: India has one of the world's deepest, fastest-growing financial markets, and almost none of it is accessible to global capital through programmable rails. we're changing that.

before this, i founded Milk Mantra, India's first VC-funded agri-food startup — built a consumer brand, pioneered blockchain in the milk supply chain, impacted a million lives. acquired by Hatsun Agro, 2025. and before that, Tata Administrative Services — the Tata Group's leadership cadre — with postings in London and Johannesburg, leading M&A in consumer food & beverage.
