About

I am Sarath. I would describe myself as a passionate tech enthusiast with a deep love for web development, from design to implementation.


I have a deep interest in finance and a strong passion for developing FinTech applications that promote financial awareness. In a country like India, where a significant portion of the population remains unaware of the importance of wealth management and the complexities of the financial world, it is crucial to offer personalized services that foster trust. This is precisely what my startup, Semantica, aims to achieve. As one of the fastest-growing economies in the world, India has immense potential in the financial technology sector. My goal is to position my nation at the forefront of this revolution, empowering every citizen to be part of this incredible journey toward becoming a global financial superpower.


Sports play a vital role in my life, with football being my primary passion. I have a strong interest in data analytics and its application in football to assess results and performance. In today’s data-driven world, analytics is crucial for achieving high-performance metrics and gaining a competitive edge.


I love traveling in my leisure time, as I believe it offers a valuable opportunity to learn about different cultures and broaden my perspective.


Music is one of my passions. I hold a Senior Diploma in Hindustani Music from Prayag Sangeet Academy in Prayagraj.
