BIO
My aim in life is to contribute to the world by solving some of the toughest problems that exist. I believe that to run a technology venture, the culture needs to be set from the foundation and only a highly knowledgeable and passionate person can get it right. That is why I strive to be a polymath. The domains that I am planning to work on (sequentially over the course of my lifetime) are - 1. Digital payments 2. Block-chain 3. Sustainability & Climate Change
