Connect Instantly with India's Top D2C Expert — Scale Your Direct-to-Consumer Brand

As a Partner at AKCJ Ventures, my mission is to propel the startup ecosystem through strategic investments and partnerships. My expertise in corporate laws from The Institute of Company Secretaries of India underpins my approach to deal structuring and venture capital. At Agility Ventures, I orchestrated a 20 Crores follow-on funding within three months, showcasing our collaborative efforts and my commitment to nurturing innovative ventures.

My role encompasses not only funding facilitation but also the creation of exit strategies, which recently resulted in a successful 2 Crores investor exit. My core competencies lie in establishing cross-border alliances and supporting portfolio companies, enabling their transition from nascent startups to industry contenders. These endeavors reflect my dedication to forming lasting partnerships and my profound understanding of the intricacies of startup investments.

I am the co-founder of The Healthy Binge, an emerging brand in the FMCG sector, where I am currently focused on scaling our operations across various channels, including D2C, retail, B2B, and exports. With a strong background in starting and growing businesses from the ground up, I have successfully scaled another startup prior to this venture.

My expertise encompasses multiple facets of business, including marketing, sales, manufacturing, margins, and pricing strategies. I am passionate about guiding others in these areas, helping them navigate the challenges of entrepreneurship and achieve sustainable growth. Through my experience, I aim to inspire and empower fellow entrepreneurs to build successful and impactful brands in the competitive FMCG landscape.
