favorite book
We just had our first baby and read to him every night before bedtime. Currently, I’m a big fan of The Very Hungry Caterpillar and Baby Bear, Baby Bear, What Do You See? Besides the soothing rhyming content, it’s extremely valuable time we get to spend together
Childhood dream job
As a very young child, I was quite keen to become a firefighter. In a sense, running a startup is fire fighting constantly!
favorite sports teams
I follow the NBA most closely – the Warriors have been my team since the “We Believe” era. You can find me cheering for India during the cricket World Cup and attending Stanford Cardinal football games in the fall.
