Rajkot is a city pumping with industries and different businesses. Growing up here, money and commerce have been just the texture of daily life. Somewhere along the way, figuring out how it all worked became an obsession.

Through school I found my way into a VC fund, spent time in villages around Rajkot studying fertiliser policy and farmer economics, built things, competed in things, and read a lot. The IB years were good for sharpening how I think. So was everything outside the classroom.

First in my family to attend university. Headed to Emory’s Goizueta Business School to study Finance, and looking to spend the next few years close to people who build and back things.
