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 studying Business, Technology & Entrepreneurship at NYU Stern, where I explore how strategy, product thinking, and emerging tech (like AI and sustainability) shape the future of innovation.

๐Ÿ› ๏ธ What I've Built

  • ๐ŸŽง Cue โ€” AI-powered sound search for music producers, turning vague vibes into real audio.
  • ๐Ÿ”ฅ Rapid Fire Esports โ€” built a 1,000+ member gaming community from scratch during the pandemic.

๐Ÿš€ Where I Lead

  • ๐Ÿง‘โ€๐Ÿ”ฌ BTE Venture Studio โ€” co-leading NYU's venture incubator, mentoring student founders, and driving early-stage validation.
  • ๐Ÿ’ผ Product Management Club โ€” collaborating on live cases with companies like Stripe and exploring real-world product strategy.

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, writing about platform capitalism, or running growth experiments, I love the builder's process.

Outside the workspace, I'm always down for a late-night soccer debate, a spontaneous trip, or rewatching Brooklyn 99.
