Founder & CEO at TeemGenie

Help global startups build India teams without an entity

We crossed 100 people and ₹3 Cr in monthly payroll without a missed cycle. Our first customer was MariaDB.

Talk to me about
5 km hike

Watched my son finish a 5 km hike in a Hanuman costume

He stopped to play with village kids and still reached the top. Loving it, not grit, carried him through.

Talk to me about
Resident Director at Global Capability Centers (GCCs)·2022 – now

Became the legal representative for 10+ India centers

I see most entities ready before founders know if India works for them. Validate with an EOR first.

Talk to me about
Founder & CEO at Talentnauts·2017 – 2020

Ran a hiring startup until the numbers changed my mind

I kept changing fees, clients and models. Hiring is paid on success, EOR on retainer, and that became TeemGenie.

Talk to me about
Engineering Manager at DATATORRENT SOFTWARE INDIA PRIVATE LIMITED·2014 – 2017

Waited six months for a VM, then left for a startup

My family called it reckless. As third engineer at DataTorrent's Pune office, I grew the team from 3 to 25.

Talk to me about
Senior Tech Lead at Persistent Systems·2009 – 2012

Cut a 7-day DNA pipeline to 6 hours after a client's no

The US client rejected my Hadoop plan. I reworked it, and he later admitted he never thought we'd deliver.

Talk to me about
Co-founder at Indian Institute of Technology, Bombay·2004 – 2009

My first startup was a GATE prep book I built at 23

Two friends and I hand-addressed envelopes to 700-800 colleges. Its name later became TeemGenie.

Talk to me about
College life·2003

Announced a fake engagement to my whole IIT department

On March 31, 2003, I handed out sweets for a made-up fiancée. Then a teacher half-remembered teaching her.
