I write cheques differently. I invest money, influence, ecosystem, and experience, in that order. For over four decades I have built and backed businesses across education, real estate, technology, business advisory, hospitality, and media and content creation. Today I focus on one thing: being the strategic investor D2C founders actually need. Not a silent cheque, a partner who gets into pricing, positioning, distribution, and retention, and opens doors from a network built over 40 years.

A few things that shaped how I think about business:I started working at 13. I was knocking on doors selling door to door at 18.Every closed door taught me that rejection is information, not a verdict, and that trust compounds faster than any product ever will. I built St. Angelo's Computer Education, bringing computer literacy to thousands of students in India.
