Prior to SunRun, I was headed toward a career in venture capital and then realized I wanted to apply my knowledge of finance more directly to helping change the world.

I am a partner at CrunchFund, a venture capital firm with investments in many startups around the world. I am also a limited partner in many other venture funds which have their own startup investments.

My expertise was in public finance, particularly corporate taxation, since I had worked at the US Treasury.

I learned about M&A and how to value assets and work with investment bankers.

I've lectured at the Harvard Business School several times.

As an economics undergraduate, I also worked on a part-time basis in Cambridge, Massachusetts, for a company that was advising customers about portfolio decisions, writing reports.

When I came back to India after Harvard Business School, I started as a lawyer and as a trade union leader.

After serving in the Korean War, I actually started working towards a master's degree in finance.

I was a professor at Princeton University. And, in that capacity, I studied for many years the role of financial crisis in the economy.
