My journey: from physics to founder, to advisor

I started my journey in Delhi and moved to Norway for my education. After completing a PhD in physics at the University of Oslo, I stayed. Norway became home.

My career hasn’t followed a straight line—and I’m glad it hasn’t. I’ve spent years building products, leading teams, and helping companies make hard decisions. I’ve worked in tech, platforms, strategy, sustainability—and a lot of in-between.

At some point, I stopped advising and started building myself.

Tørn was a marketplace designed to reduce waste in the building materials industry. We grew quickly, built strong partnerships, and created real value—for a while. But building from scratch is never a smooth ride. The challenges grew faster than the team did, and after a tough but necessary decision, we shut it down.

That experience changed how I see almost everything. It forced me to let go of theory and learn what actually holds under pressure. It also made me ask harder questions about what kind of work I want to do—and how I want to show up in it.

Now I’m back in an advisory role—but very much changed by what I’ve been through. I work with founders, investors, and leadership teams who are navigating complexity, usually with limited time and high stakes. I don’t bring playbooks. I bring perspective, pattern recognition, and a way of working that helps teams move forward with clarity and confidence.
