About

I am passionate about building and scaling business in the design and technology industry. My career spans Design, Business Strategy, Product and Technology Marketing, and incubating new businesses. Alum of BITS PILANI, IIMB and INSEAD. Design thinking has been an integral part of what I have been doing for the last 25 years, and well before the word become fashionable. As an engineer who started in design, moved into a technology + business role, then incubated and grew a design business that is among the largest design houses in the world, and spent the last decade and more in leading global marketing and strategy for technology services across industries, I enjoy applying design-led thinking strategically to impact brands and businesses.
