As a creative and product-focused entrepreneurial leader, I have a proven track record of founding, building, and growing companies to profitability with over $100M in annual revenue. I have also successfully acquired and integrated global companies and led several strategic partnerships to achieve distribution and revenue growth.My most recent venture, Peel, raised over $95M from top VCs, including Redpoint, Lightspeed, Alibaba, Samsung, and prominent seed and angel investors. I built a team of 200 distributed globally, including one of the first mobile teams in Silicon Valley that built mobile and cloud platforms capable of handling over 100M users and 50 MAU globally.I am proud to have launched the very first internet-connected hardware device that kickstarted the smart home category. Our product was carried on the shelves of major retailers such as Apple Retail, BestBuy, and Amazon. I evolved the company’s strategy from a hardware-centric approach to a software-only play by partnering with leading mobile manufacturers worldwide, including Samsung, LG, Sony, HTC, Xiaomi, Micormax, Vivo, and Oppo.As a thought leader, I have evangelized the company’s vision through national television interviews, keynote speeches at MWC, and various conferences. Before Peel, I worked as a strategy consultant at Booz & Company, helping CEOs develop growth strategies. I also led engineering and product teams at Apple.I hold a bachelor's degree in engineering NITT, India and an MBA from Wharton.
