"You become what you think." And that is where it all starts. Born, raised, bred and conceived in the vibrant and extravagant city of Dubai which is a tiny Emirate amongst the seven cities that form the United Arab Emirates. A proud Indian by birthday I have learnt many things in my continuing stint in my job in Life. Having lives my childhood entirely supported by a working mother, a caring nanny and an ambitious sister I have come to be known as one individual who can get things done. It was when I was growing up with these women that I really began respecting the strengths of the opposite sex. An avid sport fan, I have developed a taste of all things fine and yet simple. I overload on news, food, technology, politics, films and as mentioned above, sport. After completing my schooling, taking responsibility was one job I had to handle early on in life. And this started my foray into DJ'ing which till date is a much endured passion for me. That apart I finished my graduation on scholarship from ECMIT Champlain College where again I had to face many an obstacle before successfully coming through. While studying I was also working with the Belhasa Group in their Swimming Pools & Landscaping division where I started off as a Sales Executive and rapidly moved up in the ranks resigning from my post as a Senior Sales and Marketing Executive 5 and half years later. This company taught me things I would not have learnt elsewhere. It was indeed the ideal starting point for anyone in their careers. That and my mentor Mr Jaideep Mathur who has been the foundation to some of my biggest strengths today. It has been aptly said, no human can ever stopped learning. I am 27 and this is only the beginning of my journey. After my stay at Belhasa Projects I took a short sabbatical to realize my core strengths and weaknesses and the opportunities I would like to target. During this period moved on to a brave new opportunity at Nine Hopes Production where I was involved with something every teenager dreams of doing - handling events, TV Shows and Films Productions, Film Premieres and organized exponentially magnanimous destination weddings. Since then, after I was made partner at Nine Hopes Production I have taken my interests further in to advertising and media with the help of my employment with 24 Group as an Account Manager. Life for me has not been a bed of roses as I had imagined it to be. Though I am slow at times I believe there is a process to everything.
