On the record
They said I'd never make it out of the fields. They were wrong. Son of farmers from rural UP - I'm the first to take the entrepreneurial leap. And boy, have I leaped. and fallen. and gotten back up. 8 startups attempted. 8 lessons learned: DCLG (2014)- Career platform for students → Team dynamics matter more than ideas Doctor Appointment System (2015)- HealthTech → Technical co-founders are gold, treat them well Friendz Lifestyle (2016)- Fashion → Family buy-in is crucial for partnerships Celerdoor (2020)- Hyperlocal e-commerce → Timing isn't everything, but it's something Krishakarth (2021)- AgriTech → 33 farmers onboarded, passion mismatch killed it Current reality check: Incubation Manager at TMU Business Incubation Centre Building YES2047 (stealth mode - ask me in DMs!) Mentoring Entrepreneurs from Tier 2 and Tier 3 PGDM student at Entrepreneurship Development Institute of India What keeps me going: 5+ years curating TEDxTajnagri (because stories change worlds) Mentoring at LaunchX MIT, Eureka IIT Bombay, Bridge for Billions Virtual Judge at Horn Entrepreneurship Diamond Challenge Firm believer that the next unicorn is being built in a Tier 3 city right now Unpopular opinion: Bangalore-Mumbai-Delhi has saturated startup talent.
