Driving change. Transforming India.

One day I became curious about the quality of the preschool my maid’s child attended. I walked in and saw thirty kids of various ages, cleaning and loitering around a dilapidated building, while my own two-year-old was learning how to read in a good preschool. This experience shook me and I knew instantly that this was going to be my life's work: bringing equity in education to all kids in India.

I believe in taking the long view of business. Build it one piece at a time, innovate incrementally and take calculated risks. Be frugal, keep a low profile and get the unit math right before scaling.

The advent of hybrid work has created a new opportunity for employees to live, study and work in the same city. With the increasing popularity of the work-near-home scenario, employers who want to cater to a redistributed workforce will have more demand for flexible, scalable workspaces.

While working in investment banking, my future business partner and I realized that rent-yielding real estate had excellent returns, but most smaller investors couldn’t access the market. We decided to combine our interests in technology and investing, and created a way to disrupt this entrenched industry, democratizing alternative investment.

When I was a boy my father used to take me around to different factories. I was always amazed to see how many workers were in them. I saw the backbone of the Indian economy. As an adult, I realized I wanted to build a system that would serve their needs and the world’s.

I still remember the sacrifices my parents made just to pay for my tuition fees and one train ticket to Delhi. My parents said, ‘All we can give you is education.’ That’s all that anyone needs in order to bring generational change to their circumstances.

Despite the huge role customer service centers play in a business, customers rarely have a good experience. We decided to fix it by automating a large chunk of the cognitively routine contact center functions using voice AI, allowing businesses to focus their efforts on more value-added tasks.

I spent some time on farms. When I was so close to the problem it was almost impossible not to notice the massive gaps in the market. From the farmers, to the sellers, to the re-sellers to the customers. No one was 100% satisfied. I just knew it was a problem worth solving. A problem worth my time. That’s how Otipy was born —- from farm to fork. It’s fast, it’s fresh, it’s affordable and it’s conscious.
