A Graduate from Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Madras, a civil engineer by education and a business analyst by profession. It took me a while to realize but building stuff is what I like the most. It may be a 3 storey departmental store, a blog, a business or a statistical model - the kick, of creating something from scratch which is out there for everyone to see and admire, is what drives me through the day!
