About
I'm Dhananjay Goel, a dual-track entrepreneur focused on solving critical challenges in water sustainability and financial security. As the Co-Founder of DetoXyFi, I've helped develop patent-pending, non-electric filtration technology to provide clean drinking water, while through Timble AI, I build fintech solutions that drive financial inclusion and risk mitigation. My journey has taken me from engineering at IIT Delhi to leadership roles at Harvard and Wharton, always with a focus on how technology can improve lives. I'm passionate about building teams based on humility and kindness, and I'm currently looking for mission-aligned leaders to join my ventures in Delhi or partners in the BFSI and government sectors who want to scale impact together.
