01 — About

I'm a finance professional and CA finalist who builds the financial backbone growing companies actually need. I juggle multiple Virtual CFO mandates at once — turning messy books, tight cash and compliance pressure into clear, fundable strategy.

From the ledger to the boardroom

My foundation was built in articleship at Doshi Jain & Co., where compliance and audit discipline became second nature. Today I sit on the other side of the table — advising founders on the numbers that decide whether a business survives or scales.

Finance that founders understand

I translate spreadsheets into decisions. Beyond the day-to-day, I write and teach on LinkedIn about entrepreneurship and building from zero — and I'm launching a solo podcast to go deeper with that audience.
