Desire to be

Tech-Entrepreneur in Sustainability and Energy Management

My Vocation

I am passionate about technology; an electronics engineer by education, complements my passion. My quest to understand how technology enables business landed me in Deloitte as a technology & energy consultant.

My Avocation

My love connection with teaching was made when I was 8 years old. Ever since, I have been part of several educational institutions in India.

Indian + Engineer = Love for Mathematics

Presently, I teach quantitative aptitude at TOPGRE, India.

Co-Founding Vyakhya

According to the report "Inclusive and quality expansion report of 2007-12" by UGC (University Grants Commission, an education governance body in India) - 71% of current student population in India are first generation learners and do not have either mentors or access to resources that can help them in deciding their career goal. I co-founded Vyakhya, an NPO formed to help students identify and achieve their career development goals. Presently, Vyakhya has presence at two locations. 23 students have been sponsored for their undergraduation through Vyakhya program.

"Bring me lemon tea,

Lets trek along the himalayan plain,

I`ll cook for you with natural grains,

Stand still at the top of majestic scene,

I will present you with a face-potrait,

I have woven all that interests me

Emboldened in the poem"

Vision

• Address urbanization problems through technology and sustainability
• Develop a universal energy management guide to tackle energy demand and supply
• Provide free access to basic education to every single child across the globe

Lastly, the quote that inspires me is

"Energy can neither be created nor be destroyed. It can be transformed from one form to another"

My take on the above quote

"Let us transform all the energy toward sustainable growth"
