I would like to be reborn as: I may not like to be reborn

The most memorable event of my life: My first successful venture in the States. It's easy to win on your home turf but to do it as an immigrant made me believe that anything is possible.

What did you do with your first pay cheque: I was very young when I got my first paycheck. So I went out and partied with friends. If it was today, I would have done things differently.

I can't stand: People who are not curious or innovative and those who are inauthentic.

Social Media Preference: Either all or nothing

The best compliment I ever received: Lately, a lot of my social media followers have found my time management course to be life-transformative. Acceptance of these insights from my life has been very rewarding.

Motto in life: Take inspiration from others and inspire and empower them in return.

Advice to budding entrepreneurs: Make a sustainable profitable business model, the rest is all window dressing.

Like to watch on Television: Feel-good drama shows and movies where finally the underdogs win. 

The cause I care for: Talking about the lost art of meditation and how Heartfulness can make their lives better. How as we lose ourselves in the daily humdrum of life and burn out to the point of depression, anxiety, or other severe conditions, it takes very little discipline and a change in lifestyle to get the balance back. Also, I feel passionate about the environment and plantation. I have been actively supporting the Forest by Heartfulness initiative since its inception.

One thing I would like to change in myself: Most of my friends are younger than me. I don’t have a group of friends who are of my age. So, I would love to have them too.

5 years down the line I would be: Serving Humanity and Building a purpose for the Youth.

If not in the IT industry, I would be: Maybe a life coach, someone who would lead by example.
