From Oct'23: I've been the General Manager of InterPlanetary Consensus 🌌>
I've joined the creators of Filecoin, IPFS, FVM to drive the next evolutionary stage of decentralized planet-scale apps: large-scale AI, Gaming, HPC, with a novel recursive, fractal-like approach for scaling out blockchains.
Previously (Jun 2022 - Sep 2023) I was General Manager of Polygon Supernets: I launched Polygon Supernets (now Chain Development Kit/Polygon CDK): powering Fortune 500s, Gaming giants such as Nexon & Immutable, Enterprises through app-specific blockchains & zkRollups. I created a winning Web3 ecosystem with everything needed to onboard top Web2 & Web3 builders: tooling, infra, implementation providers, validators, funding.
My Background:
-
Deep Tech entrepreneur with CTO experience in creating startups, R&D→GTM, thought leadership across AI SaaS, Fintech, Geospatial tech (across Dubai, Netherlands, India, Singapore).
-
Crypto Native since 2016, seed stage investor in Crypto DAOs for 4 years; governance in Metaverse & P2E DAOs. Active across most L1s, most ETH L2s.

Alma Mater: IIM Bangalore MBA (EPGP 2022). National Univ of Singapore (NUS).
I completed my 1-Year Exec MBA from IIM Bangalore (EPGP Class of 2022), India's leading MBA program. EPGP is a curated cohort of Experienced Executives with 8-10 years of experience. It is consistently ranked as India's top MBA and top IIM program.
Before Web3, I spearheaded strategic national-level projects and cybersecurity product R&D efforts at Panacea Geospatial and Panacea Infosec.
-
Here, I led R&D of our new patent-pending Spatial Data Registry platform, built for large-scale national and state level Spatial Data Infrastructures.
-
I also led our technical team to win a pioneering National Spatial Data Registry project of Gov of India: a nationwide data registry platform that integrates geospatial data nodes across the country. It is part of the crucial foundational initiatives needed to meet India’s upcoming Smart City Mission objectives.
-
It was hugely rewarding to create the national platform that empowers govt and industry decision-makers to unlock the potential of all critical spatial data across the country for the next stage of smart city & infrastructure development.
