About

Collaborative business problem solving gives me immense satisfaction. I am enthusiastic about people and have deep respect for a methodical approach. I love social networking and studying human behavior in groups. I have transformed ecosystems by moving up the value chain - both self & team, doing more-with-less and co-creating state-of-the-art organizations. The future of work intrigues me and I visualise sustainable, self learning organizations with intuitive organizational infrastructure platforms pivoted by deep functional expertise, social intelligence and cutting edge technologies. Hence, my entrepreneurial vision is to create a world-class ecosystem for non-core, corporate services (in sales, marketing, human resources, legal, finance, process, facilities, admin etc) for small & medium business owners in this exciting era of an emerging India; so that they can focus on their business goals.
