Born and brought up in Bhopal, studied in Bhilai-Durg and Mumbai, and currently working in Mumbai (having worked in London briefly) - my name is Nikhil.

A technology entrepreneur and an IT consultant in past life, I currently head technology for my startup Darwin. Darwin operates tripDarwin.com which is a holiday focussed travel portal which helps travellers create and book their own custom holiday trips.

I spent close to 11 years with KPMG's IT Advisory team working across Financial Services, Telecom, IT/ITeS and Retail in domains of core and emerging technologies. Being more of a DIY traveller myself, I encountered travel planning problems. I quit KPMG as an Associate Director to cofound Darwin and lead the technology end of things and my ambition is to create a global technology-driven business out of India.

In my personal life, I am a speaker, writer and try to be a good samaritan :-)
