I am the Founding Partner of Mercurius Media Capital (MMC), the first dedicated media for equity fund in the United States. At MMC, I lead the firm’s vision and investment strategy, helping high-growth startups scale by turning premium media into growth capital through equity partnerships. I also serve as President of the North American arm of The Times of India Group, India’s largest media conglomerate. In this role, I oversee regional investment and commercial operations and have helped more than 30 portfolio companies from North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, and Australia expand into the Indian market. My career began in finance and dealmaking, with roles in investment banking at India’s largest investment bank, SBI Capital Markets, and later on the M&A team at CLP Power in Hong Kong and India. These experiences shaped a global perspective and entrepreneurial mindset that guide how I drive growth and innovation at the intersection of media and investment. I am a Chartered Financial Analyst, hold an MBA and an engineering degree, and a Master’s in Psychology of Leadership from Penn State.
