What drives me??
Putting myself on a public platform is a fun and challenging task. A phrase to aptly describe me could be - Ambitious Leader, Free Innovator.
​
Living in various cities in India and spending few months in different countries, I have observed a wide array of lifestyles and each with their unique set of motivations and challenges. This has shaped my emotional and social self to the core. As an outcome of my experiences, I have developed ideas to solve the challenges around and taking goodness of one type of society into another. This has driven me to grow my career in a way that I can learn how to implement my vision & ideas in the most sustainable, feasible and business sensible way. Thinking of an idea to actually seeing it make a difference for a large audience is the satisfaction I seek.
