Ventures & Values: Building and Advising Startups.

Following my experience founding Tazzho, I joined Oxford as a Tech EiR to mentor high-potential startups. I focused on the intersection of technical strategy and market positioning, helping founders navigate the transition from prototype to scale.

Over two years, I advised dozens of founders, identifying recurring patterns in product-market fit and operational strategy. My role centered on providing clarity through data-driven decision-making and rigorous strategic frameworks.

"The trap for technical founders isn't a lack of engineering skill—it's falling in love with the product rather than the customer's problem."

As a mentor for Techstars Berlin, I worked with ambitious software startups across Berlin. In the early stages of navigating product-market fit, I helped founders implement strategic reflection—ensuring that rapid execution was balanced with rigorous validation.

"Building cost-conscious products from day one isn't just about efficiency—it creates the technical agility required to pivot quickly toward impact."

Tazzho was a food-tech marketplace designed to empower independent chefs in Mumbai. Selected for the CreateX accelerator at Georgia Tech, we built a platform focused on operational intelligence. By implementing custom AI-driven risk scoring, we achieved a 73% improvement in fulfillment efficiency and scaled to 4 cities with 300+ onboarded chefs.
