Hi, I’m Karan. I am an Entrepreneur, Investor, Mentor and Consultant – enabling businesses to succeed with Strategy, Product development and all things Technology.

Thank you for dropping by!

I bring over 15 years of experience in equipping organizations to leverage design and technology for organizational success. From core product development to interventions across other functions including marketing, hr and business strategy, I have enabled organizations across multiple industries to achieve their business outcomes.

I have helped to build vendor ecosystems and manage a variety of business projects. I have also held leadership positions managing teams of about 10 to 50+ in number, working with organizations across industries including B2B, B2C, E-commerce, D2C, Fintech, Gaming, Consumer tech and Enterprise.

I have been a founder for most of my career and have successfully built technology businesses from the ground up to scale and exit.
Exited Social Samosa – India’s leading digital content platform in 2015. Founded in 2012
Exited iGenero – A digital interaction studio in early 2020. Founded in 2008;

I write mainly about the startup ecosystem, product development, technology, design functions and business strategy. I am also fascinated by the optimization of human performance and write occasionally about productivity & life hacks to help unlock human potential.

I write to share ideas, interests and experiences with you. In any case, I am thrilled if you find something here useful on your own individual journeys.

When I am not living, breathing and writing about startups and its functions, I love the outdoors and enjoy road trips, biking. I have travelled across most of India on my bike. I love animals & am a proud pet parent to 3 dogs. I spend quite a bit of time reading (across fiction and non-fiction – History, Biographies, Science Fiction, Graphic Novels and more) and watching documentaries and standup.

Thank you once again! Please feel free to reach out to me on my social profiles. Would love to hear your feedback, ideas and even catch up for a chat online or in person.
