Personal Achievements

A more detailed overview of my learnings in my life

Valorem Advisors

At Valorem Advisors, I worked as an Investor Relations Associate, where I was responsible for bridging the communication gap between company management and the investment community. My role involved managing backend investor communications, including the preparation of investor presentation decks, coordination of analyst meets, and execution of investor-related events.

I was responsible for handling two client accounts as part of the investor relations team. A key aspect of my role was creating awareness and improving understanding of both the company and the broader industry among analysts and investors. I served as a primary point of contact for addressing queries related to company operations, financial performance, and industry dynamics, which required building deep and accurate sector knowledge.

One of the accounts I handled was ProstarM Info Systems, where I covered the power backup, renewable energy, and battery storage sectors. This role required developing strong core industry knowledge, understanding sector-specific valuation frameworks, and effectively pitching the company’s investment thesis to potential investors.

In addition, I handled the investor relations account for Kriti Industries, where I gained hands-on exposure to a volumetric business model. Through this, I developed an understanding of how such businesses are valued, including volume-driven growth rates, capacity utilization, pricing dynamics, and the impact of raw material costs on margins. This role helped me build a strong understanding of how commodity markets, input price volatility, and demand cycles influence financial performance and valuation.

Investor Relations Associate

As an Investor Relations Intern, I was responsible for supporting investor communications by helping bridge the gap between the investment community and company management. My role involved assisting in investor interactions, understanding management commentary, and supporting the preparation of investor-facing materials.

In this role, I was responsible for handling one company account — Kriti Industries. This required conducting deep analysis of a volumetric business model, focusing on how such companies operate, what drives their success, and the key factors influencing growth and profitability. I developed an understanding of volume-led growth, market demand, and the impact of raw material pricing on margins.

Through close collaboration with senior colleagues, I also gained strong foundational knowledge in finance and capital markets. This included learning about warrant redemptions, industry valuation approaches, and the key metrics used to assess and compare companies across industries. This internship helped build my core financial and industry analysis skills and provided practical exposure to how investor relations functions in a professional setting.

Founder

I started Everbloom Flowers after recognizing that Indian consumers are highly price-sensitive, yet place strong emotional value on thoughtful and meaningful gifting. While exploring the market, I identified a clear gap—buildable flower products were positioned as premium offerings, often priced too high for the average customer despite strong demand.

Everbloom was created to address this gap by making aesthetic, buildable flower gifts more accessible, without compromising on quality, design, or durability. The focus was on delivering a product that feels premium, lasts longer than traditional flowers, and holds emotional value, while remaining competitively priced for the Indian market.

Beyond the product itself, the brand was built with attention to packaging design, color coordination, and customer experience, ensuring that each purchase felt thoughtful and well-crafted. By optimizing sourcing, supply chain efficiencies, and direct-to-consumer channels, Everbloom aimed to balance cost efficiency with consistent quality.ided practical exposure to how investor relations functions in a professional setting.

Neto

As the founder of a car freshener startup, I identified a key consumer insight that many car owners were using low-cost washroom pocket fresheners due to price sensitivity and impulse-buy behavior, revealing a gap in the market for an affordable, car-specific alternative. I conceptualized and developed the product to address this need, focusing on functionality, cost efficiency, and suitability for in-car use. I was responsible for end-to-end execution of the business, including product design, pricing strategy, and unit economics, ensuring the product remained accessible while maintaining viable margins.

In addition, I handled supplier sourcing, vendor negotiations, and packaging decisions, while also overseeing branding and positioning within a highly competitive, low-ticket FMCG segment. I designed and tested the go-to-market strategy across online and offline channels and directly engaged with retailers to understand shelf placement, counter-level impulse buying, and incentive structures. Managing inventory, cash flows, and operational decisions gave me practical exposure to the financial and logistical challenges of distribution. When online sales proved unviable due to last-mile delivery costs exceeding product value, I adapted the business model based on market feedback, gaining valuable experience in distribution strategy, unit economics, and strategic pivoting.
