One of my most distinct ability is ‘never, ever give up’. Last year (2013) during American Cup Jiu-Jitsu finals, I snapped my left wrist, but I didn't stop, and competed with one hand during the last minute of the finals, and won the American cup. This is what sets me apart, my attitude to get up one more time than I have been knocked down by adversities.

I am an engineer by education, acute business development strategist by choice, and a technology evangelist by grace of Silicon Valley. Fitness is major driving force in my life. I work 70 - 90 hours a week however, I never let my work be an excuse to be lethargic. When I am not working I am usually found running on trails, grappling on Jiu-jitsu mats, and lifting weights. You would often see me walking around with my novels as I love reading – it’s one of the best way to explore the unknown, to travel never seen land, develop your imagination, and most importantly, keep learning.

My imagination and long-term vision draws me to solve most of the problems at work and in personal life through lateral thinking. You can often find me solving extremely intricate problems considering their repercussion a decade down the line.

I feel what you have to do 10 years from now, has to start today.
