I completed my Masters in Business Administration (MBA) from Faculty of Management Studies (FMS) in 1973.

After working a few years with Tata Group’s Indian Hotels Company in Mumbai and Delhi, I started my long journey of Entrepreneurship that continues till date.

My early ventures were in Hotel and Airline industry. I later diversified into Information Technology with Inca Informatics working in GIS space and worked with some of the very large Telecom Companies in India and abroad. I also acquired a great deal of expertise on Infrastructure Development during the 1990’s, in Telecom, Urban Transport and Power Sector and was involved in providing consultancy services to many companies in India and overseas.

Early 2000, I began to develop an interest in Early Stage Investment with focus on the nascent Biotech Startups in the US.

I developed a deep interest in newly evolving Embryonic Stemcell Technology and had associations with several early pioneers like Geron Corporation, deCODE genetics -which did pioneering work in Genomics (later acquired by Amgen) and many other next gen biotech companies working in age related diseases and longevity.

About five years ago I started investing in Indian Early Stage Startups with special interest in Biotech, Agritech and ESG sectors. I am mentoring a few very promising biotech companies working in Hemato Oncology, Predictive Genetic Testing, Digital Platforms for Testing Neuro Virulence and Neuro Toxicity and a company conducting Phase 1 Clinical Trial for tropical application for Vitiligo.

I sit on the Board of a Charitable Eye Hospital ( in technical collaboration with Dr Shroff’s Eye Hospital) and an NABH accredited Hospital in Ranikhet for over twenty years .

Currently most of my time is devoted to promoting and honing India’s Startup Ecosystem and am associated with many Incubation centers across India.

I am an active member of several professional bodies including TiE , American Association of Precision Medicine and an active member of Indian Angel Network.
