Roadmap

2014: The First Encounter with Bitcoin During a cybersecurity course in 2014, I encountered Bitcoin for the first time. Despite its allure, I chose to focus on my hobbies, particularly 3D puzzles and swimming.

2016: Embracing the Crypto Revolution By 2016, the transformative impact of early cryptocurrency adoption on my family's life convinced me to pursue a career in this field.

2018: Discovering Product Management In 2018, I was introduced to the concept of product management. After exploring various internships in asset management, marketing, design, and development, I realized that product management was my true calling.

The final decision was between asset management and product management, and I chose the latter.

2021: Launching Battle Astra In 2021, I launched Battle Astra, a decentralized infrastructure aimed at supporting the new creator economy. The venture attracted investor commitments totaling $2 million at valuations ranging from $13 million to $16 million across different funding rounds based on a future token agreement (SAFT).

2022: Transitioning and Consulting After closing Battle Astra in 2022, I began returning investor funds to maintain goodwill. I took on consulting, leveraging my expertise in the same domain.

2023 (First Half): Consulting in Indonesia By the first half of 2023, I had successfully returned the principal investments to my Battle Astra investors. I spent three months in Indonesia, where I provided consulting services to startups focused on web3, token economics, and user adoption for crypto launchpads, centralized exchanges (CEX), decentralized exchanges (DEX), and futures traders.

During this period, I was introduced to freediving, reigniting my passion for swimming.

2023 (Second Half): Joining VAI In the second half of 2023, I secured my first office job at VAI, a crypto-focused development company. The experience required significant mindset shifts and learning, ultimately leading me to fall in love with office life.

2024 (First Half): Breaking Freediving Records and Professional Growth In the first half of 2024, I broke three national freediving records for India. Professionally, I continued to grow and learn extensively through my role at VAI, balancing my career and personal interests with newfound expertise.
