About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Me, my wife and our two children (13yo Girl and 9yo boy) have a dream to travel to every possible country around the world and dip in the local culture.

ABOUT ME

I love to experiment with business startups. I keep experimenting with them. It has been a roller coaster ride for sure . I met my girlfriend (now wife) while working on project for visually challenged people. We are God loving and devoted. We love to make ourselves available to help people in whatever we can. Non smoker (allergic to tobacco) .

PHILOSOPHY

First and foremost.. its important to take care of oneself and one's family. And as soon as one crosses the level of security and comfort.. then its duty to help others.. give a helping hand to others to come in secure and comfort zone in their lives.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Created a special language for visually challenged people to perceive 16 million colors. (Also the hearing challenged and those who cant see or hear )

Never given up on efforts to build a business despite series of failures. Walked away from a lucrative career to be and spend time with my family.

Met with Sri Sri Ravi Shankar often, the founder of the biggest NGO on Earth: Art of Living.

Took basic para-gliding and salsa lessons.

Were part of gathering of 2.5 million people at one place (an airfield) for a birthday celebration!

Teach, Learn, Share

After more than 18 failed startups and a couple of successful ones.. I think I can surely teach what NOT to do and what to DO when starting up a business. :)

My wife can teach few recipes from Indian Cuisine.

We both (and even my daughter Niranjani and son Aaradhya) would love to learn new languages, Chaitrali, my wife would love to learn tasty recipes and art forms, and I would love to learn some extreme sports, and how to handle/lead group of people.
