I'm Darshan, Startup Founder Exploring the Product World
My entrepreneurial spark
I've always believed that business is more than buzzwords—it's about vision, grit, and value. That belief started taking shape the day I visited Dhirubhai Ambani's birthplace in Chorwad. Standing where he once stood, I knew I wanted to build something of my own—something real, something big.
Finding My Way to Business
Starting in 2020 as an undergrad, I co-founded LST Capital, boldly growing it to manage ₹2 crore in AUM. My second year saw me join WictroniX as CFO, collaborating with a driven team to build and scale solutions. This journey has been deeply fulfilling, marked by significant ventures and impactful teamwork
Life Beyond the Startup
In 2023, realizing civil engineering wouldn't fuel my tech startup vision, I paused to pursue a technical master's. Fortunate to receive offers from top universities including CMU and Purdue, I chose Purdue. Moving to the U.S. was a transformative experience, immersing me in diverse perspectives.
These Days
Right now, I'm pursuing full-time business analytics and product management roles, blending my startup mindset with data expertise. At Purdue, I led impactful projects, from AI policy for the Supreme Court of Indiana to creator analytics at Google, profoundly shaping my product and systems thinking. Beyond work, I'm passionate about tech at the intersection of finance and social impact.
