About Me

Hi, I'm Nihar โ€” I build at the intersection of business, technology, and design. I love crafting ventures, solving meaningful problems, and scaling ideas from zero to impact.

๐Ÿ“˜ What I Study

I'm currently pursuing a B.S. in Business, Technology & Entrepreneurship at NYU Stern (GPA: 3.88), with a joint minor in CS & Math and a minor in Psychology. I'm interested in tech, venture capital, and finance, and I aspire to be in the technology and startup industry with the possibility of my own venture.

๐Ÿ› ๏ธ What I've Built

  • ๐ŸŽง Cue โ€” AI-powered music search engine for producers. Launched MVP and gathered feedback from 25+ creators, turning vague vibes into real audio.
  • ๐Ÿ”ฅ Rapid Fire Esports โ€” founded a non-profit gaming organization, building a 1,000+ member community from scratch.

๐Ÿš€ Where I Lead

  • ๐Ÿ’ผ Entrepreneurial Exchange Group โ€” E-Board Member (Treasurer & Community Team), building NYU's startup ecosystem and supporting student founders.
  • ๐Ÿ“Š Product Management Club โ€” E-Board Member (Treasurer & Event Coordinator), organizing events and overseeing operations for NYU's largest PM community. Grew attendance by 114% in Spring 2025.
  • ๐Ÿ† Awards & Recognition โ€” Dean's List, NYUVC Finalist, CodePi Ideathon Winner, and Stern Scholarship recipient.

๐ŸŒ What Drives Me

I care deeply about systems โ€” how products scale, how teams grow, and how technology can be used with purpose. Whether I'm working on a new startup idea, evaluating companies at Plug and Play, or collaborating with companies like Stripe on product strategy, I love the builder's process.

I'm passionate about tech, venture capital, and finance, and I'm always open to new connections and opportunities. Outside the workspace, I'm always down for a late-night soccer debate, a spontaneous trip, or rewatching Brooklyn 99.
