"I hadn't noticed just how many kissing couples are there at airports. Once you focus in on this, you realize the whole airport in a giant temple to love."

about me

I am a co-founder at Founding Fuel, a media and learning platform and co-author of The Aadhaar Effect: Why The World’s Largest Identity Project Matters.

The Polestar Award and Madhu Valluri Awards back my work up.

I am a columnist at Hindustan Times as well. My bylines have appeared at places such as Shaastra from IIT Madras and peer-reviewed journals like ACM that computing professionals look up to.

In earlier assignments, I worked as Managing Editor to set up the India edition of Forbes and as National Business Editor at Times of India.

Then there are my ‘teach- writing’ gigs which is much fun. Doing that with undergrads at St Xaviers College, Mumbai that is one bucket which offers much joy. And then there’s coaching thought leaders in the C-Suite that’s another bucket and is an altogether different ball game. It’s both challenging and sobering.

If you’ve wrapped your head around the idea that writing is a lifeskill, connect with me.
