With over 13 years of experience in strategy, growth, innovation, and business development, I have successfully co-founded and led two ventures, one of which was acquired by Deepstash, a leading content platform.

More

I have also earned an MBA from the Indian School of Business and completed the CFA Level 3 exam, demonstrating my financial acumen and analytical skills. As the Co-Founder and CEO of Curateus, I created and scaled a content curation platform that connects users with curated recommendations on what to read, watch, and listen to, based on their preferences and interests. I launched the MVP using no-code tools, acquired 5,000 curators and 100,000 subscribers without spending anything on marketing, and monetized the service by offering Curation-as-a-Service for B2B partners. I also managed the balance sheet, revenue, and expenses of the company, and facilitated its acquisition by Deepstash. I am passionate about solving the problem of content discovery and personalization, and leveraging the power of human curation and community. I am now looking for my next challenge where I can apply my skills and expertise to create value and impact.

  10. Job: Curateus — Co-Founder / CEO · 2021-02 – 2023-12 — *Curateus is now 100% owned by Deepstash (www.deepstash.com)* Curateus is Pinterest for content recommendations on what to read, watch and listen to via human curators. My grandmother explains, “We ask trusted people to find the best doctor for a prognosis – Curateus helps find the content the same way”. Today’s content recommendation is broken and fragmented. (1) Algorithms are optimised for mainstream content and often leave users unfulfilled and unsatisfied. (2) Since the topics/subjects/genres are too broad, users are spending too much time searching for the right content. Also, (3) the current recommendation ecosystem is informal with dispersed discussions over social media platforms…
