She co-founded Signature Block (a newsletter for emerging fund managers) with Ryan Hoover, and writes 'Draft mode' on Substack covering AI products, investing, and life. Her path ran from Bangalore to Berkeley to Stripe to London to San Francisco - five cities, multiple passports, one very deliberate climb.
