About Me
Technology is only as powerful as the humans behind it.
With over a decade of experience across industries and continents, I help people and organizations navigate complex transitions - from technology to strategic business pivots.
My journey began in engineering, but it was curiosity that led me forward. While pursuing my bachelor's, I worked with a trade shows company between 2012 - 2016, organizing large-scale industrial expos. That early exposure taught me the value of communication, leadership, and design thinking.
Between 2016 and 2021, I worked in India across additive manufacturing, circular economy and sustainability; evolving from marketing to business development to product management, while developing subject matter expertise. Each step deepened my interest in how technology shapes decisions and people.
In 2021, I moved to the U.S. to pursue a master’s in Management Information Systems, and later entered the AI space. I returned to India in early 2025 to help build an AI-powered ecosystem and support responsible innovation at scale.
Whether I’m consulting on management/technology strategy or mentoring someone through a pivot, my approach blends empathy with clarity. This website is where I share my work, ideas, and time, for anyone building what’s next!
My Value Pillars
Perseverance
I stay with problems longer, because resilience is where real solutions emerge.
Honest Communication
I value clarity over comfort. No posturing – just thoughtful, real conversations.
Empathy by Design
People are at the heart of everything I do, be it systems, strategies, or services.
No Corners Cut
I don’t shortcut processes, people, or principles. Good work deserves intention.
My Personal Motto Is “Planet, People, and Profits.”
I firmly believe that these three don’t need to be in conflict. With the right mindset, they can be balanced and built together.
