A curious mind driven by impact and creativity. I’ve spent the last decade working across growth marketing, startup mentorship, and community building. My journey includes leading marketing campaigns with million-dollar budgets, helping early-stage startups find their first 100 customers, and building a thriving ecosystem for entrepreneurs in Maharashtra.

Currently, I’m the founder of Startup Maharashtra, a platform that supports 50,000+ first-generation Marathi entrepreneurs through mentorship, funding guidance, and community events. I'm also a Growth Marketing Manager at Plobal Apps, helping e-commerce brands scale fast through paid media, retention strategies, and automation. Previously, I led marketing at a global Blockchain and AI firm.

While work keeps me busy, I always make time for new cultures, art, stories, and connections. I believe Couchsurfing isn’t just about a place to stay—it’s about sharing, learning, and exchanging worldviews.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet inspiring people, experience local cultures beyond tourist spots, and contribute to a shared sense of global community. Whether I’m traveling or hosting, I enjoy meaningful conversations, exchanging life stories, and understanding how others see the world.
