We believe technology is the only thing that creates access at scale.
Agencity backs the companies closing that gap.
In 9th grade I went to a village outside Nagpur called Khapa to help install 770 solar panels.
The village had electricity cuts 15 times a day. People barely had money for one meal. And even after all of that, they were more satisfied with life than most people I've met since.
That's when I first realised how much technology can change people's lives. And how often the people who actually need it are the ones who never get access to it.
Everything I've built since has been about closing that gap.
Now I'm building Agencity.

In college I built Crowdflo to get bootcamps and extracurriculars to 5,000+ students across rural India. Then the first version of Agencity, a platform that helped students get into YC-backed companies. 4M impressions, 7K users, $0 spend. I joined the founding team at Axal, an a16z-backed AI company, and started ML research at UCSD on the side (now transferring to UCLA). Built a full-sized humanoid robot with Triton Droids. Started a content engine that now reaches 500K monthly views.
Earlier this year I co-founded Dr. Tracker, a healthcare AI we raised $650K for and got a 25,000-patient government pilot for in India. And I started writing checks too, with $10K of my own capital into CLD-9 as a partner.

I'm 20. I engineered embedded watermarking protocols that reached Y Combinator's final rounds, building reverse-diffusion video watermarking years before OpenAI adopted similar tech. I cleared a 2.2% acceptance rate to consult for VCs at 180DC, have run teams of 100+, and built sponsored sports ecosystems from scratch across five leagues, co-founding OFFSIDE, a football league with 200+ active participants backed by Red Bull and catching the attention of multiple FIFA agents. I carry a personal network of 15,000+ operators and builders across India's startup ecosystem, which is exactly the distribution this whole thing runs on. 20+ Mathematics Olympiad medals along the way, clearing NMTC, IOQM, and the IMO, with international ranks of 6 and 8.
Agencity is a deeptech venture studio.
We invest in and operate for frontier companies where the technology already works and the bottleneck is deployment. The unglamorous work that decides whether technology actually reaches people.
Most investors write a check, make an intro, and stop.
We run the part founders can't: distribution, manufacturing, government access, growth. We pick the company, pick the bottleneck, and do the operating work, anchored in India and expanding across the Gulf. The moat was never the technology. It's getting it into the markets that need it.
We're also starting to build and forward-deploy a few of our own.

We'd love to hear what you're building.
