My story
Eight years ago, I started out as a DIY investor, trying to make sense of markets that often felt noisy and unpredictable. That curiosity turned into conviction.
Over time, I went from managing my own investments to leading financial product strategy at Groww Mutual Fund, helping design solutions that made investing simpler and smarter for thousands of investors.
From a place of uncertainty to one of clarity, my journey has given me a deep understanding of both: how money works, and how people think about it.

“Don't pick a mutual fund based on its past returns.” Every advisor says it. I finally ran 10 years of data.
