At ComCap LLC, I execute buy-side and sell-side M&A mandates for founder-led software, tech-enabled services, and professional services businesses in the lower middle market. I develop pitch materials and buyer intelligence to support live deal processes.

At Marquee Equity Private Limited, I built and advised clients on investor documents, including financial models, business projections, and pitch decks. I also led a team of investment analysts helping clients build data rooms.

Earlier, I prepared financial models and transaction materials at NVS Analytics and EqCap Venture Partners, and supported private equity research at Grassroot Advisors Private Limited. My background also includes credit analysis at CitiCorp Services India Private Limited and equity and debt research at Apollo Finvest (India) Limited.
