I am currently building my new venture Edition (edt.)a company that aligns with a core belief that it’s time Indian founders build global teams and pathbreaking products & brands for the world from India.

At the heart of this is another core belief: Products (and people) win not when they do things better, but when they do things different.
My first venture was BabyChakra. In 2015, we founded BabyChakra with the vision of making parenting easier. The platform provides, to be & new parents with relevant information via intelligent communities & personalized content and ensures access to trusted professionals in the medical world. More than 24 million mothers & 10,000 doctors have used BabyChakra. Funded by the world’s top healthtech funds & angels, BabyChakra has been consistently recognised as one of the Top Consumer Tech products by Global Tech Powerhouses such as Google, Facebook, Microsoft.

BabyChakra was also covered in a Harvard Business School Case Study: one of the few ventures in India to have received this honour.
In July 2021, BabyChakra merged with MyGlamm and I joined MyGlamm as a Co-founder, President. We then formed the Good Glamm Group where as group co founder, I helped lead the evolution of The Good Glamm Group which became India’s First Insurgent Brands Unicorn, valued at over $1.2 Bn. We are backed by Prosus, Warburg Pincus, Accel Partners, Amazon, Bessemer Venture Partners & Wipro Consumer.

I am a member of The National Taskforce for Regulatory Issues, DPIIT Ministry of Commerce, India, on the Governing Council of TEAM (Tech Entrepreneurs Association of Mumbai) and on the Harvard Alumni Entrepreneurs Association. I have been a mentor at Facebook’s flagship #SheLeadsTech, Google for India & The Govt of India’s National Startup Awards.

I serve as an independent director on the board of publicly listed Welspun Living (WLL) part of the $5 BN Welspun Group & Tanla platforms.

I began my journey recently as an angel investor having investments in healthtech, consumer and SAAS.
