At 17, I sold my first business. Before 25, I was managing portfolios for India Inc.'s top-notch clientele. Since then it's been an emergent journey from importing mobile phones in the early '20s to building new-age business models in healthcare.

I envision a society where no human is deprived of food and medicine because of availability or affordability. Can we aggregate global sources, check wastage, and solve accessibility? That's the long shot I'm devoted to.

Twenty years of strategising and launching brands with global and Indian MNCs. Specialist in content marketing & monetisation, e-learning, digital commerce, and digital transformation. MIT Sloan alumnus. Angel investor. Change agent.

On the mic with the Padmas

Video podcaster in conversation with legends who are India's highest civilian (Padma) awarded doctors.

Thoughtful, in-depth video conversations bring clinical judgment, career lessons and the human side of medicine into focus. Junior doctors can learn from these lived experiences, gaining perspectives that reach beyond textbooks and everyday practice.

As a speaker at global events, I bring global knowledge with a local flavour — connecting ideas across regions with the realities of the people and communities they serve. By adapting insights to local contexts, I help make shared learning relevant and meaningful across regions.
