hi, I'm Shriya
I'm a writer, entrepreneur, and trader :)
I write love stories about smart women and swoonworthy men
I wrote my first "story" in 2001 (I was 5!), and never looked back. Since then, I've worked on different novels, screenplays, textbooks, pitch decks, newspapers... and anything to do with words, really :)
I build companies based on psychology research
I did my first psychology experiment in 2012. I then focused on social and personality psychology, and founded/co-founded 3 groups of companies based on research insights: Lumhaa for relational wellness, Super Trader for personality-based trading coaching, and another group of companies for cognitive testing in sports
I also trade an India-focused equity portfolio
I trade a variety of sectors, and invest long term in 4 themes I call "WASE":
-
Wellness: I invest in healthcare, beauty, supplements; and build products for mental and relational wellness
-
Access: Infrastructure (especially re: transport, digital goods, and Tier 2/3)
-
Space: Satellite imaging, space tourism, drones/anti-drones, rockets, defense, etc
-
Environment: Renewable energy, EVs, and anything that saves the planet
and enjoy all kinds of combat sports
I've competed internationally in archery (3x All East archer, recognized by US Olympic Committee). I've also practiced boxing in 3 different countries, learnt different types of sword fighting (including a super fun stint at a Samurai school in Tokyo) and am currently training as a pistol shooter!
