What I'm looking for

I'm looking for opportunities to build and scale in agile start-up environments, applying my experience in fundraising, business development, marketing, and market entry.

I'm leading major gifts strategy at IIT Kanpur Development Foundation, building and managing a ₹25 Cr. high-value donor pipeline for High Net-Worth Individuals and family foundations.

Previously, I led fundraising and communications at Avanti Fellows, helping grow the organization from ₹17 Cr. to ₹40 Cr. in India and raising $1M in the US. At IIT Bombay, I helped secure a $1.3M grant for a new research center and led operations, events, and stakeholder engagement.

My work also spans healthcare and international education: I grew revenue 30% YoY at EF Academy, launched oncology devices at Becton Dickinson, and expanded Biocon's business unit from $500K to $3.5M. I welcome opportunities to build and scale in agile start-up environments.
