👋 Hey! I’m Arnav
There are a few things that I value the most in life:
- building things larger-than-life that positively impact people
- forming meaningful connections
- experiencing new adventures
- learning about things I find interesting
Currently
- studying industrial engineering @ uiuc
- building around prediction markets @ pythia
- heading growth and partnerships as president @ illini blockchain
- preparing for a hyrox in november 2026
- learning about making alcohol, cooking good food, and playing the guitar
Previously
- worked on product + gtm @ glider
- worked on supply chain ops @ tesla
- hosted hackathons for 800+ students in 6 different countries @ codeday
- wore multiple hats @ family-owned F&B business
- worked with Cory Levy to curate golden content @ Z Fellows
- captained my high school varsity football team (and I still play!)
I really like taking photos, here are some of my favorites
I’m a sucker for good conversations, whether it’s about startups, geopolitics, whiskey, building sales engines, prediction markets, or anything at all.
If you’re in Urbana-Champaign / NYC / Nashik, I’d love to meet up and buy you a coffee.
