The Shorter Read:
I’m Navajeet (in Bengali, it means new victory); friends call me Nav. I’m a bit of what you would call an ABCD-FOB. I grew up in Texas, spent middle and high school in New Delhi, went to college in Philadelphia(UPENN), worked on Wall St. (New York City) and as of 2015 I moved back to India (New Delhi).

In 2019 I founded Khoob, where we aim to build and invest in interesting Indian companies.
