Global Technology Director at Travelopia, and India Director for Enchanting Travels, the group's home brand. My work, in one line: be a catalyst for business transformation. I've tried it many times — sometimes it lands, sometimes it half-lands, sometimes it doesn't. I keep going.

I treat life and work as one long experiment — a dreamer correcting the dream as he implements it. Off the clock: Sanskrit, Jyotish, and the older question of what it means to build with intent. Some days the two halves talk to each other. Some days they argue. I write about both.

A partial list. The full one would be a book.

Many more whose names belong in their own essay. Pranams to all — known and unknown, this lifetime and the ones before. Just grateful I get to experience this life.
Gratitude always.

Two children — Krish (2015) and Neeraja (2019) — who have shaped me more than any book or framework has. My partner Sripriya runs Aevam, a yoga studio.

We made the slow move to Auroville — the experimental bioregion near coastal Tamil Nadu. Slower life, deeper roots. (The full story is in the essays.)

I hold them as equal instruments — and refuse to choose between them.

For a long time, I hated social media.

Then came Orkut — do you even remember it? It barely exists now.

I've created and deleted my Instagram account ten times. Installed and uninstalled the app a hundred. Eventually I gave up and now use Instagram on the web — or borrow my partner's phone when I want to scroll a reel.

LinkedIn was the one I needed for work, so I lived there. Around 2010 I had a thousand-plus contacts and no real connection with most of them, so I deleted the account and started over. The rule since: only add people I've actually met in person and can recall by name.

And then — slowly, over the last year — my build mojo came back. The new-age agents made it possible to ship things I'd been carrying around in my head for a decade. The dreamer finally caught up with the doer. I'm alive again.

Studying astrology this last year showed me something I'd been side-stepping: I gain energy when I'm visible. Not the performative kind — the steady kind. So this whole site is in some part an experiment in showing up.

Wish me luck.

A heads-up — I'm slow to reply. But I read everything that comes in.
