About

A quick introduction.

Investor and operator in MENA venture.

I was born in Barcelona to first-generation Indian immigrants - a mix of cultures that fundamentally shaped my perspective.

London followed. After studying Economics & Management at King's College London, I cut my teeth in consulting at Deloitte and KPMG. It was there I learned how to think, all while scaling a small events business on the side - my first real experience building.

Now based in Dubai, I lead operations at AngelSpark, a top 5 most active early-stage investor in MENA per Magnitt. From sourcing founders and leading diligence to closing deals and managing LP relations, the scale of the role keeps me quietly obsessed with productivity. I build my own systems to extend what one person can actually do, while managing a personal portfolio across venture and alternative asset classes.

Barcelona by birth. London by training. Dubai by choice.

Recognition
Startups & Investing

At AngelSpark, and beyond.

At AngelSpark, I spend my time finding founders, running diligence, drafting the investment transaction agreements that close deals, and keeping our LPs close to the work. We're the region's most active angel network, investing at pre-seed and seed. More at angelspark.net→

Outside AngelSpark, I write personal angel cheques across geographies and themes that interest me - typically where I can bring perspective beyond capital.

Across the broader portfolio, I invest in public equities, credit, and alternatives. Selected private capital allocators occasionally seek my input on venture exposure in the region.

I'm also an Expert in Residence with select programmes, running workshops with founders and corporates on investor-readiness and early-stage fundraising.

Speaking & public engagement

Talks, panels, and workshops.

I regularly speak on stages and run workshops across the region - on venture, fundraising, and ecosystem building. Recent invitations have also taken me to explore the Uzbek and Cambodian startup ecosystems alongside their state-backed venture programs - including a stage talk in Phnom Penh (video).

Automating the overlooked.

A lot of high-value work gets ignored because it's repetitive or boring. I spend time building systems that do this work for me, so I can focus on what matters most.

A few that run daily
  • Dealflow pipeline
    Scrapes new MENA startup announcements every day and drops the relevant ones into my AngelSpark review list. First mover advantage and pace really matter in venture.
  • Personal finance assistant
    All my investments across asset classes in one place, with a personal advisor in my pocket - no conflicts of interest, and aligned with my investment goals and preferences.
  • Personal CRM
    Every contact I've ever had, from every source, in one place. Knows who I've met, what we talked about, and who I should follow up with for what.
  • Investment thesis generator
    One-page thesis on any stock, ETF, or asset I'm looking at. Pulls the numbers, checks the valuation, scores it against my portfolio fit and goals.
  • Health and fitness system
    Workouts, progress, and recovery all in one place and tailored to me. All the features of a premium app that I refuse to pay for.
