What I'm looking for

I'm looking for opportunities where I can build digital asset, payments, product, or strategic partnership initiatives while using market insight, client management, and end-to-end execution to drive growth.

At FanCraze, I built B2B growth partnerships with IPL franchises including Chennai Super Kings and Delhi Capitals, helping monetize licensed ICC digital collectibles. I also curated, generated, and minted NFT moments from ICC Cricket World Cups.

I worked with executive leadership to launch digital asset mechanisms such as Lock and Burn and Structured Sets, supporting scarcity, secondary-market liquidity, and investor engagement. I led a team of eight and managed a Discord community of more than 1,000 digital asset collectors.

Previously at Roundblock Technologies, I expanded secure non-custodial wallet, crypto-to-fiat, and cross-border payment offerings. I negotiated cryptocurrency payment-gateway integrations and developed blockchain checkout solutions for fantasy gaming and sports entertainment clients.

My earlier work spans equity research, investment research, retail measurement, and client strategy at Nielsen, Kantar IMRB, Emkay Global, Jhandumal Mohanlal & Company, and International Export Corporation. I combine consumer and market analysis with hands-on product, partnership, and client-delivery experience.
