Hi, my name is Indranil. Feel free to call me Indy.
NYC-based finance leader by day, (slow) marathoner and (semi)-competitive tennis player by early morning. My time - and wallet - are currently in a three-way battle between the city’s food scene, tennis club fees, and race registration fees.
This is my digital hub for talking tech and finance, capturing the world through a lens, and hacking stuff together with the latest hype vibe code tool. Let's connect.
The Lab
A perpetual work in progress: things I'm building with vibe coding, ideas I want to hack together, and cool things I've found that others have built.
Scaling with Discipline
$200M+ Capital Raised
14x Revenue Growth Guided
2 Exits*
8 Marathons Completed
55 NYRR Races Completed
Over a decade in:
With over a decade in the NYC startup scene, I've operated in environments as small as 3 people working in an IT closet, to a 1,000 people spread over 3 countries. I've set up finance and accounting from scratch, been a de facto legal operator (not a day of law school), hired across sales, recruiting, data science, and finance as a recruiter (with no Gem, Greenhouse, etc), and have even been an account executive closing clients.
All while running the NYC Marathon every year since 2018.
How I Help
Strategic Mentorship and Advising
Through First Round Fast Track, and individually through inbound messages, I advise early-stage founders and first-time finance leaders on scaling operations. I am especially helpful with financial modeling, choosing finance tooling, thinking about scaling team/department structures, and recruiting.
Currently accepting limited-scope engagements, with commercial rates for startups and limited complimentary slots for individual mentorship.
Board and Community Advising
I have the privilege of serving on the West Side Tennis Club's Finance and Tennis Committees. As the original home of the US Open, West Side has a unique place in tennis history. As a committee member, I advise committee chairs on things like budgets, adult tennis programming, and general member sentiment.
I am available for select Board/Advisory Board appointments.
Panels and Peer Engagement
As a founding member of FSuite's Deputy CFO program, I am an active participant in NYC finance communities.
In 2025, I spoke about M&A Readiness and Market Trends at one of FSuite's events.
I am available for speaking engagements - particularly panel discussions.
Through the Lens
A collections of pictures I've taken over the years. Still finding my style, and hoping to get more active. Prints available for purchase.
