India
I'm a venture capital analyst with deep experience in investor-side due diligence, startup investment support, and financial analysis across medtech, SaaS, AI, and emerging technology sectors. Currently, I serve as Lead Venture Capital Analyst at Harbright Ventures, a North Carolina-based early-stage fund, where I lead end-to-end due diligence on portfolio candidates. To date, every startup I've evaluated has become a portfolio company, a track record I'm proud of. My work spans the full investment lifecycle: bottom-up market sizing (TAM/SAM/SOM), competitive benchmarking, multi-scenario financial modeling, investment memo writing using the Real-Win-Worth framework, and co-developing investor outreach strategies for portfolio companies in subsequent fundraising rounds. Alongside my fund role, I work directly with founders across the US, Europe, and Asia Pacific as a freelance investment analyst. I've contributed to first-round fundraises for Questa AI (Luxembourg) and MUB Medical (Norway), built investor packages from scratch, and partnered with the CEO of Tivic Health (California) to produce a 2024 benchmarking study of 10–15 publicly traded medtech peers using SEC filings and performance data. Earlier in my career, I developed thesis-driven investment decks and financial models for institutional clients including HKUST, Nasdaq Private Markets, and The Wharton School. My academic foundation includes a Certificate in Finance – Investment Management & Analysis from UCLA Extension, supported by advanced certifications in valuation (NYU Stern). I hold a Bachelor of Technology in Instrumentation & Control Engineering from NIT Tiruchirappalli, which gives me a genuine technical edge when evaluating deep tech and hardware-adjacent startups. I'm now actively seeking a full-time venture capital role, particularly at firms focused on healthcare, medtech, SaaS, or cross-border investment. I thrive in lean, founder-facing environments where I can combine rigorous analytical work with hands-on deal support. If you're building a VC or growth equity team and need someone who can hit the ground running on diligence and deal flow, I'd love to connect.
