"Returning to India shouldn't mean navigating tax nightmares alone. I built Settleline because I lived this exact journey and know how confusing the cross-border compliance can be. Our verified experts ensure you transition home with confidence, not confusion."

Our Story

Why Settleline Exists Today

After extensive experience at Houlihan Lokey and Guggenheim Partners, and leading consumer & AI infrastructure at YC-backed Landeed, I faced the reality of returning to India for family. The cross-border tax compliance was a nightmare - conflicting advice, generic solutions, and no one who truly understood both sides. With dual degrees from Kelley School of Business and Luddy School of Engineering (Finance & Computer Science), I built Settleline to solve this exact problem with a network of verified experts who specialize in US-India tax transitions.
