About Me

I am an empathetic leader, having honed my listening skills early as a volunteer counselor with Sanjivini. I have strong analytical skills and a bias for action. An innovator, my continuous learning paradigm combines with an abiding interest in technology to inform my creative approach to problem-solving.

As an alumnus of three eminent institutes of learning (IIT Kanpur, FMS Delhi, Modern School), I have benefited from quality education and the company of exceptional peers. However, I believe that students often graduate while lacking the soft skills critical for real-world success. Through informal mentoring, I have actively helped professionals and entrepreneurs bridge this gap.

My greatest strength? Connecting dots that others miss – between business needs and solutions, between foreign companies and India's unique market, between individuals and their better selves.
