a 33 year old, still trying to figure out life and purpose

Eight years at Entri — joined as a Team Lead when the company was still figuring out what it was, stayed through every stage that followed. The work has been cross-functional the whole way: revenue, strategy, marketing, operations, product, and now learning impact. Currently leading the department asking how you deliver maximum learning value to a user — in their own language, in less time, at lower cost — for 15 million learners across vernacular India.

Before Entri: taught UPSC subjects at coaching institutes, co-founded a learning space in Ernakulam that was part bookshop, part café, part thinking room, and spent nearly two years at Accenture in Bengaluru.

The other serious occupation is reading. Also thinking about platform economics, language as infrastructure, EdTech, governance, and the Indian Constitution. Writing occasionally. Speaking when invited.

This site is where I think in public. And as someone said — "Do not seek me in my words; I am hidden within my thoughts."

About

33. From Kerala. Cross-functional leader, EdTech builder, reader of too many things. Still figuring out what all of it adds up to — and mostly okay with that.

Before Everything

Started at Accenture as an Associate Software Engineer in Bengaluru — a brief but useful education in how large organisations actually function versus how they think they function.

Teaching & Co-Founding — 2016 to 2019

Spent three years teaching GK and current affairs to UPSC aspirants at Naipunya IAS Academy and Career Launcher. Alongside that, co-founded Insight Learning Habitat in Ernakulam — part bookshop, part café, part thinking room for students, scholars, and teachers.

Entri — 8 Years and Counting

Joined Entri in 2018 as a Team Lead. Stayed through every stage — building Entri TV, moving into strategy and business development, P&L ownership, and eventually leading Learning and Impact. Eight years of zero-to-one and everything after.

What I'm Working On Now

How to deliver maximum learning value to a user, in the least time, at the lowest cost — in their own language. Entri serves 15 million learners across vernacular India. AI is changing what's possible and I'm figuring out what that means in practice.

Education, Ongoing

Executive Certificate in Business Analytics from IIM Visakhapatnam. Currently pursuing MBA from BITS Pilani — Work Integrated Learning Programme, Strategy and Consulting. Both alongside full-time work.

Outside of Work

I read seriously — history, governance, EdTech, fiction, economics, the Indian Constitution. I write when something is worth saying. Still working out the larger questions.
