Hey, I’m Sumukh. A curiously wandering through space and time. During college, I built an ecommerce business, that allowed me to generate surplus cash to invest in ethereum & bitcoin. Then went on to team up and build a decentralised exchange called ezether. Parallely, I was investing through firstprinciples.vc and understood a lot about venture and technology startups. We went onto incubate and build shvasa.com.

I’m now working on building and scaling d2c e-commerce brands as part of a rollup firm.

"Holding on to anger is like grasping a hot coal with the intent of throwing it at someone else; you are the one who gets burned." - Buddha

"A fit body, a calm mind, a house full of love. These things cannot be bought - they must be earned."- Naval
