Not a coach. Not a guru.
A grounded leader shaped by real-world experience.
Someone who’s been in the trenches and lived to tell the story.
I grew up around business, but a lot of what shaped me happened away from any boardroom. I spent my school years living in hostels in Ranikhet and Nainital. Those experiences taught me to stand on my own feet early and figure things out without a script.
Later, I studied entrepreneurship formally and completed an MBA at the Entrepreneurship Development Institute of India (EDII). It wasn’t about collecting a degree, it was about understanding how enterprises grow, and how they can lose their way when you forget the basics.
Over the past decade, I’ve worked across almost every part of my family’s business – from distribution to manufacturing, from marketing to team development. Some days, it was about strategy. Most days, it was about solving problems no one warned me about. Eventually, I stepped into a leadership role, trying to modernize what needed change while respecting what already worked.
And somewhere along the way, I found that the most valuable lessons weren’t the ones I read, they were the ones I could pass on honestly.
Sharing What I've Learned…
When I’m on stage, I don’t do success 101 tips or polished frameworks. I tell stories. Usually the ones where I got something wrong, fixed it (sometimes), and learned what not to do next time.
I’ve sat in meetings where strategies looked perfect on paper but fell apart in reality. I’ve watched field teams understand customers better than anyone with a title. And I’ve seen talented people burn out because no one gave them a straight answer-just jargon.
If there’s one aim when I’m invited to speak, it’s that someone leaves thinking:
"Okay, that was actually useful."
