"At Elevation Capital, I focus on early-stage fintech and gaming investments, backing visionary founders building the next wave of transformative companies. From platforms that drive financial inclusion to immersive gaming experiences, I thrive at the intersection of technology, creativity, and impact.

What excites me most is partnering with entrepreneurs during the toughest, early stages—when their vision is still taking shape, and the journey can feel the loneliest. It’s inspiring to be a trusted collaborator as they navigate uncharted territory and turn ambitious ideas into reality.

I’m especially energized by the intersection of the micro-impact of working with founders and the macro-impact of advancing financial inclusion and building the gaming ecosystem in India. Over the years, I’ve seen the challenges faced by financially underserved Indians and understand that while India’s fintech landscape is still young, it holds enormous potential. At the same time, gaming is evolving into a vibrant industry that blends emerging technology and entertainment, creating new ways for people to engage, compete, and connect.

I look forward to partnering with founders who are building the future of fintech and gaming, unlocking new possibilities, and driving meaningful change."
