Advisor, thinker, and perpetual learner fascinated by the art of value creation — from zero to one and beyond. Currently in financial restructuring at Deloitte, advising large conglomerates on debt modification and cashflow preservation.
A leap of faith at 17 — from a sleepy town in the Himalayas to the heart of Southeast Asia.
I grew up in Dehradun, a tranquil city nestled in the foothills of the Himalayas. At 17, I made a decisive move to Singapore to pursue my undergraduate studies at the National University of Singapore (NUS).
College wasn't just about coursework — it was about forming connections that challenged my worldview, gaining experiences that tested my convictions, and developing intellectual rigor that would define my professional path.
Today, I work in financial restructuring at Deloitte, where I advise large conglomerates navigating financial distress. I help them modify existing debt structures to conserve cashflow and preserve operations — work that sits at the intersection of finance, strategy, and human judgment.
Charlie Munger's idea of a latticework of mental models resonates deeply. I'm on a never-ending quest to understand how things work — across disciplines, industries, and cultures. The toolbox expands with every book, conversation, and deal.

Advising large conglomerates facing financial distress on modifying their existing debt structure to conserve cashflow — enabling them to preserve operations through turbulent periods. Work spans financial modelling, creditor negotiations, and strategic advisory at the intersection of law, finance, and business.
Moved from Dehradun at 17 to pursue undergraduate education at one of Asia's top universities. Formed lasting connections, challenged prior beliefs through rigorous coursework, and grew in every domain — intellectually, personally, and professionally.
A sleepy town nestled in the foothills of the Himalayas. The pace of life there taught patience. The mountains taught perspective. The community taught the value of connection. It shaped a particular way of seeing the world that no city could replicate.
The narrative behind great companies — how founders think, how markets emerge, and how competitive moats are built and eroded over time.
Expanding the latticework of thinking tools — from Bayesian reasoning to second-order effects. Every new model is another lens on reality.
Understanding the principles of value creation and capital allocation. Studying great investors and the frameworks they use to see through complexity.
What Singapore taught me that India didn't, and vice versa. How geography and culture shape the mental maps we use to navigate life.
