The best compliment you have ever received.

A simple thank you and a warm smile from an elderly person, whom I had offered a seat in the train.

What is that one thing that you would like to change in yourself?

The habit of trusting everyone too easily.

If you can change one thing about your past, what would you change and why?

Nothing. Because each failure has taught me more than my success. One should learn from his mistakes.

Focus on your core strength and leave the rest to karma.

Retired from business and serving mankind in all possible ways.

If not in the IT industry, where would you have been?

I would have joined the armed forces. I was seriously planning for the National Defence Academy but things did not materialize.

Share any memorable/inspiring/humorous incident from your school/college days.

In college, I was a part of the social team which organized blood donation camps and distributed free books to needy school kids. I learnt a very important lesson at an early age that we must give something to the society to the best that we can.

Your idol in life and why?

Narayana Murthy and Warren Buffet, because of the fact that they earned a lot and gave it away selflessly.

What did you do with your first pay check?

I gave it to my mother.

I love to spend time with my family and friends. I enjoy those moments as much as I can.
