About Me

Hello! Nice to meet you, and welcome!

My name is Karan (pronounced Kuh-run).

As a materials scientist passionate about discovery, I have spent years delving into the fascinating world of catalysis and the intricate processes that shape our materials. My journey has taken me through the rewarding experience of setting up and operating chemistry labs, where I had the opportunity to contribute to innovative product development for a FAANG company.

Here, you can expect to find my thoughts on the intersection of science, business, and markets, along with reflections on various pieces of art that resonate with me.

If you're interested, you're welcome to subscribe to either of my newsletters-

• The Chem Ledger is where I write about the changing face of the chemical industry. I talk about mergers, new technologies, and the slow, surprising ways science and business shape one another.
• Bound To Review is for the books, the music, the shows and classes that have stayed with me. It’s not about being a critic. It’s about noticing what moves me and trying to say why.

Thank you for visiting my corner of the internet. I’m thrilled to have you here!
