I've spent six years sitting at the intersection of quantitative trading, venture investing, and growth marketing in digital assets — a combination most people in crypto don't have. I started as an engineer (B.Tech, IT), then went deep on the quant side: an algorithmic trading master's from IIQF, then designing, backtesting and deploying HFT strategies on a $1.2B AUM book as a Quantitative Trader. In parallel, I've done the qualitative side of the business too — sourcing and diligencing early-stage investments (Celestia, Saito, Legion, Cannan) and, before that, running growth as CMO at NFTmall.io, where I took the platform to ~$500K MRR and 50K+ community members from zero, including hosting India's first metaverse event. Today I'm an Associate Director at Raffles Capital, managing HNI relationships across a ₹120 crore book and running the brokerage and fund management lines. What makes me great: I can build the model, source and diligence the deal, and then market and sell it — most people can only do one of those three.
