🚀 Engineer by degree. Crypto degen by conviction. Born in India 🇮🇳, raised in the Middle East 🌴, and shaped by stints across the globe — I’ve lived the global financial system from every angle. And that’s exactly why I stopped trusting it. When I saw how traditional rails rewarded opacity over innovation, I turned to crypto, not as an escape, but as an answer - a chance to rebuild trust through transparency, incentives, and mathematics.
⚙️ Core belief: AI will change how we think; crypto will change how we trust. Together, they’ll build an economy that’s open, intelligent, and fundamentally new.
👷🏽♂️ Today. I lead Investments and Partnerships at Mysten Labs, focusing on AI and Consumer applications. My work lives at the intersection of intelligence and infrastructure, where decentralized systems, verifiable AI, and programmable identity reshape how we create, own, and trade value.
🧠 Track Record. In the past 3 years, I’ve helped launch and scale multi-billion-dollar protocols - Sui ($35B+ FDV), Walrus ($2B+ FDV), ApeCoin ($8B+ FDV at launch), and Otherside ($325M in sales). Each one pushed the frontier of how people and technology can co-create value.
💡 Beyond the job: I advise and invest in early-stage teams building at the edge of crypto, AI, and consumer tech. Occasionally, I write long Substack essays - half memo, half manifesto - about what’s next for this evolving stack.
