Depth and Breadth of

The Skills I Developed and Deploy

Scaling Ideas into Institutions ...

across Continents, Capital, and Culture

My V2 journey blends building venture-backed high-growth companies, leading multi-country digital ecosystems, and crafting future-facing strategies that align cultural nuance with commercial scale.

My path unfolded across seven countries, spanning boardrooms, temples, drone networks, and data centres. Whether driving MyMahotsav’s pan-continental platform or shaping the capital stack at MavensWood, I find energy in the convergence of vision and execution

Tarak was instrumental in taking charge of the company, though he was external, he understood the intricacies very fast. He then communicated detailed actionable steps and got-on implementing the future path. He is little disruptive too, but that’s why we brought him in as the CEO.

Primary Skills

Relationship and Commercial

A Sales and Revenue officer turned CEO, and now an Operating Partner, is highly analytical and forward-looking, with a very select set of Private Equity Skills

I treat relationships as capital. Years of closing deals across diverse cultures…from capitalist America to spiritual India… have shown me that the best partnerships are transformations, not just transactions. Whether advising startups or building teams, I lead with mutual growth, clarity, and deep trust.
With specialized Private Equity skills in Value Creation and Transformation, I take full ownership of the P&L of the Portfolio, drive digital transformation, and execute strategy with both speed and precision. Above all, it’s the relational approach that leaves a lasting impression.
People at Heart

Team, Process & People Management

Decoding people’s aspirations and aligning them with team dynamics and business value opportunities is how I drive growth across organisations.

Talent

Matching high-potential talent to value-driving roles is a core skill…aligning people with purpose and organisational momentum.

From interns to executive hires, I build growing teams that are lean, driven, and mission-synced.

Culture

I believe in fostering environments where alignment, ownership, and initiative flourish…be in large teams or global remote contractors.

Always remain deeply connected across all layers of the organisation.

Speed

Decision-making agility marks my natural style…tuning into early signals of loss or success, and pivoting decisively when needed.

Personal and corporate productivity tools and processes are my favourite toys.

Boardroom Agendas to Shareholder Alignment

Strategic Vision

Corporate Strategy

As an interim or permanent role, I converge to take the bold decision with speed. Sometimes being external to the system helps me ask that tough question easier than one who are embedded in the system.

Board Engagement

Maintaining a strong rapport with the chair (or lead independent director) to craft forward-looking agendas… while holding purposeful 1:1 sessions with individual members to align priorities and unlock insights.

Stakeholder Relationship

Drawing on my private equity skills, I spend time thinking about, articulating, and championing the purpose… keeping external stakeholders, investors, and regulators aligned.

Core Instincts

Being brave

I’ve crossed cities and borders with just two boxes and a belief in myself, in search of economic opportunities. That grit helps in business risk-taking.

Manage Aspirations

I am ambitious, and I appreciate others’ too. I manage motivations. Because when ambition is aligned across people, magic happens.

Calm Under Pressure

The proof can only be seen in practice, as events in hindsight can’t demonstrate the point. My calm comes from lived chaos… and perhaps, a little yoga at dawn.

Emotion / Optimism

Data is great. But when it goes quiet, I listen to intuition. In moments of uncertainty, conviction becomes the compass. I trust mine… and it’s served me well.

Business Storyteller

Give me a mic or a whiteboard. I simplify complex ideas into stories that stick. From keynotes to boardroom to guest lectures, I connect to resonate.

Rapid Learning

Time again, I have taken projects well beyond my previous experiences and delivered as pro. At 40, re-skilled and graduated from Oxford University

Multi- potentialite

Finance, compliance, HR, legal, strategy… I’ve worn those hats. Not as a checklist, but as an integrator. If you’re looking for a connector, I’ve lived that intersection.

Tear Down Problems

At times, when things look tangled, it may be a tech or a human conflict… I delve deeply into breaking the issues into their components. Clarity begins with structure.

Manage Ambiguity

I feel at home in a fast moving, complex and dynamic environment where uncertainty and risk needs to be embraced with steadfast resolve.
