Personal Journey

Raised by an Indian Army veteran and a selfless homemaker, I inherited discipline, resilience, and deep empathy from an early age. At 14, I began working full-time to fund my own education, and by 21, I chose to marry, decisions that shaped my maturity and built my character long before my career took flight.
I’m a proud father to Sayesha, an English major student at Loreto College, a viral video editor, and a published singer whose debut single “Best for Me” was released at just 15 on Apple Music and Spotify.
My siblings — Shruti, a content developer, and Vijesh, a senior banker — reflect the same values of growth and excellence that define our family. Having once climbed out of a personal debt of over $100K, I’ve built a strong financial foundation and outlook — shaped not by circumstance, but by grit and conscious reinvention.
