BIO
Founder - Shelf & FlatX. Building FlatX, a platform helping people find genuine flats and compatible flatmates faster in urban India. Previously built Shelf (YC S22), a neobank for young professionals that helped flatmate groups manage shared finances. Shelf served 40,000+ flatmate groups, launched RuPay-powered Shelf cards, UPI payments, and partnered with brands and co-working spaces to offer services for shared living. I love talking about startups, AI, fintech, and proptech.
