I have been passionate about Business, Technology, Bollywood, Travel, Societal Change, Language and Social Enterprise. The interesting confluence of these passions provide with me a unique perspective. I aim to leverage these perspectives in creating new chapters and new avenues for future.<\/p>\n<p>I am lucky to work with a silicon valley innovator where I help organizations from the Fortune 500 to startups solve their digital challenges and accelerate innovation. I am associated with social enterprises and industry-academic initiatives. I have a strong bias for purpose-driven actions, creativity, productivity and giving back.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, sharing is caring! I believe that expressing self and sharing is important to make sense of ourselves and the world around us. And, this is the place where I share my ideas, thoughts and other interesting things.
