About Me

This Blog was originally set up in March 2012 on another URL, and has been re-built afresh in Feb 2022, starting with the 121 old blog posts of 2012-2021, 50% of them written in 2012-13, and the rest through the years.

An unabashed corporate denizen, enjoying the art of selling my time (and brains, I would like to believe). The enjoyment comes from helping shareholders build world-class high-quality businesses, seeing value get created, and helping younger colleagues build their careers.

I have been leading businesses since 2011, having worked before that in management consulting, private equity, business analysis, marketing, strategy. Worked, studied and lived in Mumbai, London, Bengaluru, Chennai, Gurugram (all 4 Indian cities renamed between 1995-2020).
Am currently doubling down on and learning more on Digital, AI/ML, SaaS, Consumer Internet, Start-ups in general.

An avid blogger and Tweeter, a decentish reader and an ardent student of management and leadership practices. I am a one-book author – ‘Return of the Hypotenuse (Poetry in Math and Science)’, published in 2015. https://www.goodreads.com/en/book/show/25578927-return-of-the-hypotenuse#

Since 2016, started distance running; completed about twenty 10km runs and seven 21.1km runs (one of the faster 46 yr old HM debutants at 2hrs 11 mins :).

An out-n-out family person, spending quality time with Ragini, the wife and Adviti, the kid ranks very high on the priority list. The kid’s moved to video calls ever since she’s joined college – we speak more now:).

Values that define me – Transparency, Authenticity, Discipline, Industrious. Aspire to add Climate Conscious and Uber-aware (of everything).
