Die hard foodie. Having been previously sighted haunting the Coffee Jar at Viman Nagar in Pune and Balwant Singh's Eating House in Kolkata, is now known spend unhealthy amounts of time in Bronfman building of McGill University. Other habitats include Ville-Marie and Plateau areas of Montreal. Occasionally spotted wildly gesticulating at restaurants or bobbing about at indie music nights. Frequently receives calls from friends asking them to talk to the server and order on their behalf.Negligible disappointment rate with his recommendations. Known to travel hundreds of kilometres just to try that one dish or listen to his 22nd favorite band.
Out and out geek. Technophile. Loves to talk about technology and internet. Do not get him started on comics or mythology. Also likes language, puns and wit. Extremely patient listener. Frequently accused of being a know-it-all but his sincerity will convince you that he truly believes he is trying to make the world a better place. Try and avoid the glint in his eyes when he is talking about things he is passionate about or you will be transfixed. Can convince you that the experience you hated simply lacks context and proper interpretation and will then take you along on a ride to show you the wonders you missed out. Occasionally expresses maverick opinions but will always consider your point of view. Claims to have superhuman empathy. Fiercely loyal and trusting to a fault.

However, has been afflicted with the Acquired 'It Depends' Syndrome, a very common B-School disease that leads to him answering most questions with "It Depends".

Aspiring entrepreneur. Tried it once. Did not go as planned. Now looking to reinforce his knowledge, secure a comprehensive understanding of business and processes, develop as a leader, share in a multi-cultural environment and gain exposure to international practices. The aim is to gain a deeper understanding of how to improve business operations aided by judicious application of technology. All in preparation for round 2. Fight!
