I spent a decade in tech and business — computer science degree, MBA from IIM Bangalore, sales at Hindustan Unilever, product leadership at Practo and WhiteHat Jr, then founded Earth 47, a climate tech startup building a solar marketplace and carbon offset platform. After that, I led climate SaaS product at SINAI Technologies.

In 2024, I stepped away from conventional career paths to work full-time on the metacrisis. Not because I had it figured out, but because I couldn’t unsee it — the way ecological breakdown, institutional decay, AI acceleration, and the erosion of shared meaning are all feeding each other.

The through-line across all of it is one question: which piece is mine to do?

Now I write a Substack called “How Shall We Live?” — essays on coordination failures, game theory, spiritual development, and the question at the center of everything. I build tools like Cursed Screen, an app that makes your phone disgusting instead of blocking it. I run workshops on the metacrisis for people who feel something is deeply wrong but can’t quite name it.

I think in systems — evolutionary psychology, game theory, institutional incentives, social physics. I value curiosity over ideology, synthesis over debate, and good mechanisms over good intentions. I believe the inner work (meditation, grief, shadow) and the outer work (governance, climate, coordination) are the same work seen from different angles.
