He has worked across Hashed Emergent, Asva Capital, and GravityX Capital, building a track record in the Indian and global Web3 investment landscape.
He is currently pursuing opportunities on the research side of early-stage investing, focused on blockchain infrastructure, payments, and prediction markets.
At Hashed Emergent, he co-authored the India Blockchain Landscape report launched at IBW 2025, owning the data pipeline from scraping and filtering to geographic and sectoral mapping.
At Asva Capital, he sourced and supported investments into four projects including LYS Protocol, Nillion, and Sharpe Labs, while conducting initial founder calls and due diligence.
He independently sourced Polymarket before it crossed a billion-dollar valuation and referred it to angels in his network, a call that played out during the US election cycle.
