My Story
As a curious and introspective boy growing up in India, I was a true geek at heart—always fascinated by technology and problem-solving. Engineering became my path, but beyond the equations and code, I was drawn to bigger questions: How can technology shape the future? How do great leaders make decisions? How does technology unlock human potential?
I’ve been exploring the intersection of technology, leadership, and transformation ever since.
My journey took me from India to the U.S., where I immersed myself in the worlds of AI, leadership, and decision-making, working at Microsoft, Amazon, Intuit, and GoDaddy. I had the opportunity to lead AI-driven innovations, scale multi-million-dollar businesses, and collaborate with some of the brightest minds in technology and machine learning.
Over time, I realized my true passion wasn’t just in building technology—it was in helping leaders and businesses bridge the gap between AI, strategy, and human potential. I saw firsthand how AI wasn’t just transforming industries but redefining how decisions are made, how teams collaborate, and how businesses scale. I became deeply invested in coaching executives, advising organizations, and shaping AI-driven cultures that foster innovation and long-term success.
Today, I work with CEOs, Fortune 500 executives, and fast-growing startups, guiding them to leverage AI for strategic advantage, build high-performing teams, and make bold, data-driven decisions to thrive in an era of rapid change.

AI, Decisive Leadership & Transformation
In the era of AI, the ability to lead with clarity and transform with confidence is more critical than ever. Yet, too many leaders are held back by information overload, slow decision-making, organizational silos, and a resistance to change. How do we move forward?
By harnessing AI-driven insights, bold leadership, and a transformative mindset, we can cut through the noise, make smarter decisions, and unlock opportunities we never thought possible—driving innovation, growth, and lasting impact.
LEADERSHIP IS TOO UNCERTAIN. AI ADOPTION IS TOO SLOW.
Let’s take action and lead the future.
