Entrepreneur, algo trader, advisor and investor, AI builder
Most of what I do starts with two questions. Is it worth solving? Will it last?
I'm Sid. Years in healthcare strategy at Bayer, then a startup of my own through a hard restructuring. Now I build businesses, trade markets with code, make apps with AI, and back founders.
I'd like to play a small part in the things that compound.
What I believe
- Intellect without integrity does more harm than no intellect at all.
- The right idea at the wrong time is the wrong idea.
- Solve a real problem and the money tends to follow.
- You understand a thing once you've built it.
- Say it plainly, and early.
Where my time goes
Building companies is what I come back to.
More
Now launching a diagnostics business, close to the healthcare world I know best.
What I look for: a problem that's real, a model that can last, and people I'd trust with it.
Rules I've written and tested. The best puzzle I know.
More
It keeps my decisions honest, and builds the resources to back bigger ideas.
Most of the edge is in knowing when not to act.
Small apps and agents for everyday life. Some are seeds.
More
A baby tracker. A self-management app for plans and habits. An AI assistant on WhatsApp that handles my business messages.
You only learn what AI can do by building with it.
I help a few sound founders with the decisions that count, and sometimes back them.
If one of these is close to what you're working on, tell me about it.
Now
- Buildinga custom trading terminal for commodities
- Launchinga diagnostics business
What I'd like to see
India with a culture of excellence, and integrity to match.
Healthcare people can reach. Skills that turn talent into work. Energy that can carry a growing country.
At home
I'm a family man. It has made me clearer about what matters, and humbler about how much of life is still a wonder.
