I scale tech businesses, from African startups to frontier AI delivery.
Now at Stanford GSB, building with AI agents in public.
Ten years of operating and leading teams across East and West Africa, then enterprise AI delivery. Right now I'm a Stanford MSx student, a mentor to early-stage startups, and learning to build things the AI-native way. This site is the proof, and the build log is open.
Highlights
Annotators scaled while co-leading generative AI model training for a frontier AI lab.
Initiatives run through the post-merger integration of MaxAB and Wasoko, Africa's largest tech startup merger.
Profitable corporate accounts after relaunching Swvl Kenya following a government ban.
Digital payment adoption across six markets while keeping defaults under 1%.
Beyond the CV
Husband to Charvi, dad to Mivaan, and dog dad to Oreo. I speak English, Gujarati, Hindi and Swahili, chaired the board of Flone Initiative (safe, gender-equitable public transport), and I'm working toward my PADI diving certification. Weekends are for cycling, forests and new restaurants.
Mentoring
Mentor in the Google for Startups Accelerator for Southeast Asian startups. I help founders sharpen priorities, set OKRs and work through the hard operating questions.
