About

I’ve spent the last few years building businesses, managing teams, and driving growth across different industries. But more than titles or metrics, what’s really shaped me is the people I’ve been fortunate enough to learn from. I’ve genuinely been privileged to have an incredible network—professionals, mentors, and friends who’ve offered advice, opportunities, tough love, and the occasional reality check. LinkedIn has been part of my journey since its early days—whenever that actually was—and it’s helped me reconnect with people from school and college in a far more meaningful and respectable way. If you know, you know. Therapy has also been one of the best investments I’ve made in myself. It’s helped me stay grounded, navigate life’s plot twists, and make better decisions both personally and professionally. I genuinely recommend it to anyone who’s trying to grow holistically. 2025 for me is about blending work with the things that have always fuelled my curiosity: PC and console gaming, building, exploring, tinkering, and learning through trial and error. Games like Fallout, Rust, and now Roadcraft have evolved into full-on simulation environments—and in hindsight, they’ve shaped my heuristic thinking and problem-solving instincts more than most textbooks ever managed. And yes—I know LinkedIn isn’t Reddit, but I’m slowly trying to terraform it into something a little more real. More receipts, more honesty, less “WhatsApp University”… which, let’s be honest, completely derailed the moment Jio gave the country unlimited forwards. 😂 Thank you to everyone in my network for being part of the learning, the chaos, and the levelling-up. Looking forward to continuing this journey with curiosity, humility, and a bit of humour.
