About

A passionate engineer turned into an entrepreneur. I have more than two decades of experience in the field of engineering simulations. I specialize in the area of systems simulation helping many customers in deploying model-based systems engineering into their digitized product development framework. After 14 years of industry hardening by working in various aerospace and automotive industries, I am treading a different path in the last 10 years. In the current phase of my career, I was able to successfully groom a world class team for cutting edge global simulation leader Modelon in a Tier 2 city. I cherish grooming engineers, listening into customer pain points that shapes our businesses and being a thought leader who constantly thinks about democratizing simulations. I want to tirelessly work towards making the impossible "possible".
