I am a venture‑capital partner at Blume Ventures in Bengaluru, focusing on consumer and India B2B investment theses. I maintain a public presence on my personal blog, LinkedIn and X, and I enforce strict inbound‑communication policies to keep my network focused and high‑value.
I oversee consumer and India B2B investing at Blume.
I have been with Blume Ventures since Sep 2018 (over 6 years).
Before Blume I was Associate Vice President at Bennett Coleman & Co. Ltd. (Times Group) from Jun 1998 to Aug 2018, with a near‑3‑year stint at Infomedia India in‑between.
I earned an MBA from IIM Ahmedabad (1996‑1998) and a BA in Economics from Chowgule College, Goa University (1992‑1995).
I only respond to pitches that have a clear fit with Blume’s investment focus.
I prefer introductions via portfolio founders or trusted contacts, and I do not accept unsolicited LinkedIn invitations.
