About

I have had diverse experience across businesses from software (i2 Technologies in Dallas), luxury watches (LVMH in India), financial advisory services (Kotak Wealth Management), offshore hedge funds (Edelweiss Capital) and real estate (Brokers Please Excuse and Edelweiss Real Estate). I returned to India in 2002 after having lived and worked extensively in South Korea, Malaysia and the United States. The decade that followed (2002 onwards) was probably the best decade that one could have chosen to live and work in India. Looking ahead from here, I am very excited about the next decade and think it will truly be the coming of age of our country. I hope to find exciting opportunities to participate in this process of national growth and development.
