My journey: from physics to founder, to advisor

I started my journey in Delhi, India, and later moved to Norway for my education. After completing a PhD in Physics at the University of Oslo, I made this beautiful country my home.

My career has taken me through many paths — from developing new technologies and products, to leading teams, to advising companies through complex projects and growth journeys. For many years, I worked with advisory and consultancy, helping businesses navigate tough decisions and risks.

Then I became an entrepreneur myself.

Building Tørn — a marketplace to reduce waste in the building materials industry — was one of the most challenging and rewarding chapters of my life. We grew fast, built momentum, and served hundreds of suppliers and customers. But building from scratch is never a straight line. Problems came fast, decisions got tougher, and eventually, we had to shut the company down.

That experience taught me more than any playbook could. It made me reflect deeply on what works, what doesn’t, and what I wish I had seen earlier.

It also made me rethink what I want to spend my time on.

Now, I’m opening a new chapter — combining my experience as a founder, my earlier years in advisory and leadership roles, and my personal commitment to staying authentic and grounded.

Through advisory, board roles, and honest conversations, I help founders and leaders build with more clarity and balance.

I believe in thinking big, but staying grounded. In moving forward with reflection. And I look forward to connecting with others who share that mindset.
