I'm an executive at a large public accounting firm, where I'm developing a new audit practice focused on emerging technology companies in Silicon Valley. Earlier, I co-founded NoPaperForms, an education technology startup that has become a leading enrollment management service provider for higher education in emerging markets. As the startup’s CEO since founding it in 2011 until 2013 – I grew it to a team of 19, raised VC, partnered with 50+ colleges and universities, processed 250K+ student applications, and led it to profitability with $2M+ in top-line revenue. I started my career at Deloitte in Atlanta.

In 2010, I was awarded the first prize at Eureka, Asia’s largest startup competition (according to CNN and Thomson Reuters) organized by the Indian Institute of Technology in partnership with the Government of India’s Department of Science & Technology. My work has been featured in several leading international media outlets including Economic Times TV, Bloomberg TV, Business Today, Daily News & Analysis (India's national newspaper), Hindustan Times, TechCircle and NextBigWhat (India’s equivalent of Mashable). I frequently offer entrepreneurial insights on Mashable, ReadWrite, Inc., Yahoo! Small Business and TheNextWeb.

I'm an active member of the Young Entrepreneurs' Council, 2012 Fellow of Startup Leadership, Cornell Entrepreneur Network, Cornell Entrepreneurship Lab and a past participant of the Plug & Play Startup Camp. Additionally, I'm a Virtual Entrepreneur in Residence at Cornell University.

I hold an MBA from Cornell University, Master’s in Accounting and Finance from the University of Lancaster (UK) and a Bachelor's degree in Accounting from Loyola College (India). I’m also a Certified Public Accountant.
