Aryan is part of the investment team at Blume, bringing a blend of finance, tech and entrepreneurial chops shaped by his CFA Charter and an MBA from ISB. Having grown up across India's east and west coasts, he picked up an appreciation for different perspectives, cultures and cuisines early on. He cut his teeth in financial analysis and venture investing before joining Blume, working across early-stage deals and founder's office roles.
Having built and run his own startup, a content-led investment platform for Gen Z, while freelancing as a financial analyst for clients across the US and Europe to bootstrap it, Aryan knows firsthand what the zero-to-one grind feels like. Learning to sell, deliver and build from scratch gave him a deep respect for founders and a genuine desire to be useful beyond just writing cheques.
When he's not deep in deal flow, you'll find him writing his investing newsletter, trying out new products and tech, hosting people over Indian-fusion food experiments, or hunting for a great cup of coffee.
