I work with data to surface the standout founders we invest in.

I'm interested in founders using technology in unique ways to create genuine, lasting impact. AI's ability to compress the time between a good idea and a working product has opened up new possibilities. I'm especially drawn to the mechanics of how AI systems simulate reason, where they break, and what that means for the next wave of tools built on top of them.

I joined Eka in 2026 after completing my Computer Science degree at the University of Exeter, graduating with a First and a Dean's Commendation. Alongside my studies, I spent three years winning hackathons, writing open source Rust libraries, developing explainable hyper-heuristics for my dissertation, co-founding a sustainable skiwear brand, and co-leading large-scale charity events.

I build data engines to help us identify and back outlier founders at scale.

I believe that outlier growth and making the world a better place go hand-in-hand. I’m fascinated by the intersection of technology, data and human decision-making. My goal is to use technical expertise to support founders and help them scale their vision.

I joined Eka to invest in the next wave of category defining founders. Before that, I spent over seven years in quantitative trading at Goldman Sachs and Point72 – building machine learning systems. I’m an engineer by training from IIT Madras and hold a master’s in finance from HEC Paris.

I lead the research process, which helps identify and assist the companies we invest in.

I am curious about climate-friendly solutions which address the main consumer categories, especially where technology and data are involved. I believe in making B2C models and industries financially accessible as well as climate sustainable.

I joined Eka in the summer of 2022, driven by a desire to have a more impactful role in finance. Previously, I was an Equity Research Associate at Barclays, specialising in European Internet. We analysed large consumer tech companies such as Deliveroo, Asos and Trainline and worked on 10+ IPOs, most notably The Hut Group, Auto1 and Allegro.

I manage the financial and operational aspects of Eka.

I have a passion for data analysis and how it can be used to reduce inefficiencies. As a Teach First Ambassador, I care about ensuring everyone has equal opportunities and believe that technology can help drive this change.

I joined Eka in 2021 looking to join a small highly driven impact focussed team. Prior to that, I worked at PwC, becoming ACA qualified and also completed the Teach First leadership development program. I have a chemistry degree from Oxford University.

I lead new investments and work with the founders we have backed.

I believe in the power of technology to change today’s archaic business systems to better serve humanity and the environment. I decided to dedicate my career to backing founders that share this belief and Eka is a realisation of that.

I founded Eka Ventures in 2018 having spent the last decade investing at seed and series A in fast consumer technology companies. Prior to starting Eka I was Co-Managing Partner and Head of the Investment team at MMC Ventures. I led MMC's investments in 14 companies, including Interactive Investor ($1bio+ exit), Gousto ($1bio+ partial exit), Mubi ($1bio+ exit), Bloom&Wild ($500m+ partial exit) and Cloudsense. I have an Engineering degree and technology has been a constant thread in my education and career.

I lead new investments at Eka and work closely with the founders we invest into. Eka means “first” in Sanskrit and reflects how I see the role: be the first investor in companies defining the future economy, and the first call founders make, when things are great, and when they’re not.

I’m drawn to founders who see the world differently and do something about it. The ones creating new categories or rethinking existing ones. The founders who are building things that genuinely improve how we live and move us towards an economy defined by inclusive abundance.

I founded Eka in 2018, after a decade investing in consumer companies, early at MMC Ventures, later at Burda Principal Investments who respectively are investors in Bloom & Wild, Gousto, Mubi, Vinted and Etsy, businesses that didn’t just scale, but changed behaviour. Eka is built on that belief: Invest in founders creating companies that improve and bring joy to everyday life. My interest in consumer entrepreneurship started early, with buying and selling horses as a teenager, before studying law at Oxford and working at Bain & Company across London, San Francisco and Tokyo.
