About Me

The world has been changing very fast. And lately, even faster! Nevertheless, one thing that has not changed is that the family still plays a vital role in defining our value system. I say this with conviction and pride. I look back and feel blessed to have grown up in a modest and God-loving, yet forward-looking family that always cherished the Joy of Giving.

The other important learning I have had is about the law of nature, i.e., your thoughts create your future. As a child I used to get really fascinated by great aesthetics, fine demeanor, creative writing, powerful speeches, soulful music, high-quality acoustics, technology, and good food. Many of these used to trigger dreams wherein I would see people in awe of what I had to offer to them. And being so deeply engraved in my sub-conscious, these eventually started manifesting in my life in one way or another.

I was also very fortunate to come across these two quotes that have stayed with me since childhood.

mark twain

Adlai Stevenson II

And it’s been a long journey – with its fun and rubs. I started playing the piano by ear when I was six, graduated in Indian classical vocal music while studying in high school, and performed on All India Radio (AIR). I went on to complete Chartered Accountancy and stepped into the corporate world. Alongside, I wrote a software on inventory management, created a website on cooking recipes as soon as I discovered internet, and embraced Vipassana meditation as a guiding light. Later in global corporate leadership roles, I got opportunities to travel around the world and build successful teams in several countries. I got invited to address several prestigious industry conferences within India and abroad, won a number of awards, and also had the privilege to serve the NASSCOM GIC Forum as Regional Chairperson.

Thanks to the inspiration from Mark Twain—and the gratification from spearheading Sustainability and Diversity (D&I) functions as CFO at EMC India (DELL-EMC), I took an entrepreneurial break and launched an award-winning B2B2C platform to promote philanthropy and CSR. I have had the privilege of coaching over a hundred corporate executives, and also conducting simulation-led training programs on financial acumen, communication, influencing skills, conflict management etc. It’s truly humbling when people thank me for having achieved what they never thought they were capable of. I just feel blessed.

I am equally blessed to have a wonderful family. I burnt fingers in stock markets, picked fights with my bosses – including at home 😉 and also did so many stupid things on which I could write a tome. Maybe I will, someday!

In short, God has been kind; and life – His most precious gift, indeed beautiful!

Thank you for visiting my website. It portrays some of my hobbies, blogs, and the insights that I continue to gain from life. Hope you find it interesting. Please feel free to share your feedback, if any.

And, keep smiling! 🙂
