About

I spent two years at IIM Ahmedabad, then twenty-one in the corporate world — Wells Fargo, Dell, NetAmbit, and Airtel — working across strategy, analytics, marketing, sales, technology, and operations. In 2025, financially independent, I stepped away from full-time work. What stayed with me was the habit that was always underneath the job titles: noticing what doesn’t add up, and turning it over until I find a perspective worth sharing.

That habit now lives across seven publications, pointed at different things: money (Zenca), products (Build This Next), Bitcoin policy (Chain Policy), AI (Promptcraft), consumer technology (Future in Motion), cities (City Conversations), and life itself (Life Lens).

Underneath the seven are two beliefs.

The first: foundational understanding has to come before the interesting stuff — you can’t make sense of Bitcoin without first making sense of money, or reclaim your time without first noticing how much of it goes toward money that inflation quietly erodes.

The second: thinking a problem through out loud is valuable in itself — a city problem, a confusing financial system, a product nobody’s quite gotten right, each gets a little clearer once someone sits down and works through it.

That’s the value I add: the clarity of thinking things through — whether or not I’m the one building the fix, running the city, or setting the policy.

Financial independence in 2025 didn’t create any of this; it simply made room for it.
