I discovered my love for the business side in 2nd year of engineering undergraduate when I enroled in an Entrepreneurship seminar to skip classes but ended up sitting in the front row, engrossed in everything the speaker was talking about.

My plan to skip the seminar failed but I found my love for startups, technology and commerce. Life was never the same again. Immersed myself in Bangalore’s nascent startup ecosystem back in 2010-12. Still remember the surprised looks I got as a 19 year old in startup meetups.

Volunteered with Headstart Startup Saturday and Open Coffee Club to meet founders who were generous enough to mentor a young kid with his weird startup ideas. Learnt the fundamentals of business & first principles thinking.
