About

I am an entrepreneur, mentor, and educator with a diverse professional journey spanning technology, civil services, and business. With a B.Tech in IT from IIIT Allahabad and an MBA in Finance from IIM Calcutta, I started my career in 4G LTE technology at Aricent Technologies before clearing the UPSC Civil Services Examination and serving in the Ministry of Defence in weapons production. Later, I transitioned into education and entrepreneurship, combining my experience to help individuals and businesses grow. For the past decade, I have been training and mentoring students for Civil Services, CAT, GMAT, GRE, and high-stakes interviews in consulting, finance, and tech. As an Associate Trainer at Thapar University since 2014, I conduct 1,000+ mock interviews annually, helping students and professionals refine their problem-solving and strategic thinking. Beyond teaching, I mentor two companies in the ed-tech and pharmaceutical industries and recently launched an initiative in pharmaceuticals. My passion lies in building businesses, solving complex problems, and guiding ambitious individuals toward success. When I’m not working, you’ll find me playing chess and cricket, watching Chinese fantasy movies, or indulging in Age of Empires videos and Netflix marathons.

Chacar is a startup aiming to disrupt the logistics industry. We use proprietary technology to match demand and supply, track movement, and keep a common trail of records. Its intuitive design and easy to use interface allows businesses, transporters and truck drivers to independently do things only large goods shipping companies were able to do. If you need to transport or courier goods, you can easily contact vendors with a tap. If you are a booking agent or own trucks, you can find new customers and orders for idle trucks immediately. If you drive a lorry, you can be affiliated to many agents and find new jobs without waiting. Chacar is a win-win business built around service-on-demand, with full accountability, while reducing inefficiency. Our approach is that all the 3 roles are key to a successful supply chain. Our intention is to drive down costs and idle capacity by increasing the competitiveness of existing players. Our philosophy is to build technology around people.
