About

What if you could transform your technology AND transform the people behind it? That's what I've spent the last decade doing and it's changed many businesses and human lives. THE STORY I started with 4 failed startups. Each failure sharpened my understanding of what businesses truly need to grow: the right technology, the right talent, and the right mindset. Today, as the Founder of Anika Technologies, I lead a global IT services powerhouse that has trained over 50,000 professionals across the world, delivered technology consulting to Fortune 500 companies, and built partnerships with organizations like PWC, Wells Fargo, Credit Suisse, KPMG and more. We were also the first Indian company to serve as AI Knowledge Partners at the World Tech Conference in Canada a milestone that reflects our commitment to staying at the frontier of technology. WHAT WE DO AT ANIKA TECHNOLOGIES We help organizations across North America, Europe, APAC, and the Middle East: • Upskill and future-proof their teams with AI, GenAI, LLM Engineering, Cloud, Data, Cybersecurity & more • Scale faster with elite IT staffing and staff augmentation • Transform with AI Agent Systems, Digital Transformation, and Ultra-Low Latency Architecture • Build custom software and access tech & capital funding for ambitious startups THE HUMAN SIDE: CONSCIOUS LIVING Backed by Science, Spirituality, and Systems, Conscious Living helps high-achieving professionals, entrepreneurs, and leaders design their lives with clarity, purpose, happiness, and peak performance. We run transformational mentorship programs, Yoga Therapy, and curated retreats enabling outliers to become the finest versions of themselves while dealing with problems like stress, anxiety, depression and addictions. WHY I DO THIS I believe the future belongs to organizations and individuals who evolve technologically AND humanly. My life's mission is to bridge these two worlds: cutting-edge technology and conscious human transformation.
