About Me

I write, I coach, I run. 🇮🇳

I am doing an India backpack trip to cover 15 states in 40 days starting 1st Feb on buses and trains. I love India and am keen to learn and experience more of the country. I am also logging / recording my trip on my GoPro and podcast on my experience and interactions with people I will meet.

Till recently, I was the Business Head for an E-commerce startup. Over the past 14 years I have worked as a product manager and marketer with top Indian companies.

I am an ultra-runner, having run 50kms races. I have also run 10+ half marathons and 2 full marathons. Running is a passion.

I also write and hope to some day have published material. I enjoy talking about philosophy and India.

I recently also started coaching wannabe entrepreneurs and ambitious career people, a process I enjoy and gives me great fulfillment.
