Off campus

Research matters most when it leaves the journal. I mentor startup entrepreneurs, voluntarily consult with local small businesses, and run a foundation that puts books and clean water within reach of kids in India.

Bridging the gap between invention and implementation in healthcare.

The Vaswani Foundation

Non-profit bringing quality education to underprivileged children in India.

MENTORSHIP PHILOSOPHY

Reflective questions over ready answers

Good mentorship isn't downloading your playbook into someone else's head. It's helping founders set, prioritize and track their own goals, and building the resilience to keep going long after the program ends.
