🙎🏻‍♂️This is a picture of me from a lovely cafe in Pune [Dec ‘22]

<aside> 👋🏻 I'm a policy professional based in Berlin [Germany] / Delhi [India] with years of experience in the development sector. My focus area for the past few years has been political management, policy advocacy, and communications.

</aside>

I like to talk about India's growth, time-travel stories, and personal finance among other things.

Much of my professional work sits at the intersection of policy and politics, where I have navigated high-stakes election war rooms, led policy advocacy on technology and trade, and help address complex administrative bottlenecks.

I take a results-oriented, execution-focused approach to my work, driven by clarity on the desired outcome. I thrive on aligning stakeholders and fostering partnerships that translate into a purposeful joint venture.

Open to networking in the development sector, government, policy consulting, advisory space, think tanks or something completely out of my comfort zone.

I value productivity, books and light conversations!

Association Highlights

Here are some of the organisations I have worked for or been associated with. Association could be direct or like close door participatory.

Personal Finance

I work with a small number of individuals who are either new to personal finance or just beginning to take it seriously. The focus is simple: build a strong foundation and a long-term orientation. This is not financial advisory and it is not a product. It is a structured, thoughtful process to help design clarity around money.

You and I work on: Long-term goal framework, Steady value investing approach, Savings systems and cash flow design, Capital allocation discipline.

We discuss portfolio logic, diversification thinking, and behavioural guardrails that protect long-term decision-making.

How does this work?

I work with only a limited number of people at any given time to ensure depth and seriousness of engagement. There will NEVER be any fee attached. This is driven by a genuine interest in helping build financial clarity. I do not hold formal certifications in finance. What I bring instead is structured thinking, practical frameworks, and a bias toward disciplined execution. If you are committed to building a long-term system rather than chasing short-term gains, I would be glad to connect.

Interested? Reach out via email or Signal to start a conversation.

Government Advisory

This is driven purely by interest and intellectual commitment to public policy and governance in India.

I am keen to work with organisations that are exploring India as a market and want to better understand how to think about government engagement. My current geographic focus is limited to Delhi and Odisha.

I can support with: Early-stage thinking on government partnerships, Mapping relevant departments and public institutions, Structuring first conversations with policymakers, and Understanding the political and administrative context around a sector.

This is NOT a formal consultancy offering. It is a focused, thoughtful engagement for organisations that value clarity before execution.
