A driven individual with a penchant for looking at the world through analytical glasses. Analysing situations has always been an innate characteristic of mine, which has helped me in both personal and professional spheres of life. A good read, an engaging movie, a scintillating round of sports or a stroll with my camera gives me an immense feeling of satisfaction.
After a brief three month period at a real estate company, I was offered a role of a consultant at Deloitte. Considered to be on the acccelerated career path by my superiors, I was promoted to a senior consultant within eighteen months. After my stint with the analytics team at Deloitte, I started working for Skanda, a start up. This role offered me the opportunity to take on additional responsibility as well understand the workings of an embrionic organization.
When I do end up having time to spare, I can never be found at home. My love for travelling has seen me traverse across four continents and over 20 countries. Each one of these travels has been an experience that I shall never forget.
An absolute sports fanatic, I support the following teams: Manchester United, New England Patriots, Chicago Bulls, Indian Cricket Team, Ferrari Formula 1 Team.
During my time travelling, I can always be seen lugging around my camera kit which includes my Nikon D5100, 18-55 kit lens, 50mm f1.8 prime lens and the 55-200mm zoom lens along with my tripod.
