• After two decades of building businesses, from India’s highest liquor-selling bar chain to tech and policy work. I began a deeper journey: understanding why people struggle with health, career, relationships, and wealth despite modern abundance.
• Through that search, I realised that the first principles of how time flows - as preserved in the ancient Indian Jyotish tradition I belong to - are immutable. They governed life when time began, and they govern it still.
• Today, I apply these timeless principles through a modern, analytical lens to help people reach their highest potential and solve complex life challenges. I’ve worked with entrepreneurs, executives, and professionals facing decisive moments - from navigating acquisitions and startup pivots to finding the right role before a visa expired or regaining career stability after setbacks.
• My approach blends logic, experience, and ancient wisdom to create practical tools for transformation.
• My mission is to help as many people as possible live to their best potential, without needing to fill a void with the latest phone or bank balance.
• I am now building ways to scale these spiritual first principles into globally accessible products, bringing the depth of an ancient lineage into the modern age.
