Got this cross-cultural identity thing going on: raised in an Indian household, with those Indians being British citizens that came over from Africa. I grew up at an American French school run by nuns. Yeah - things are complicated. Texas born. England & Aston Villa fan forever. Speaker of American English, Real English, French, and Gujarati.

Back when I was a youth (circa 2009), after a few semesters of working together in Ad School, William and I executed this crazy idea called Aleberry. We were young; mistakes (many) were made. A few years in, and we found our footing (thanks to legit experience and money raised): helping startups secure VC funds.

“An accidental blessing from a black lab & neighboring farm’s sheepdog. I was spotted under ‘Rescue This Free Box of Puppies’ on Craigslist. It wasn’t until recently my humans told me I was a dog. I was born on a Texas farm surrounded by pigs, chickens, and horses. When mum & dad came to pick me up, I was doing my best oink-work as I followed the matriarchal pig & fellow piglets around.

Luckily my humans are into rescuing, because just like my work-wife Kilda, my mixed-breed looks generate a buzz at all the trendy dog-friendly spots. I’m a little bit naughty, and a whole lot of fast. I can catch anything and play for hours. My sense of adventure gets me into trouble, but hey I’m a dog!“
