Completed my MBA from the top business school in India, post which I started off my career in the real estate space. I had the good fortune to work with leaders from top consultancies (MBB) there, which helped me build a strong foundation on how to approach any problem.I always wanted to try building something from scratch, which is when I took a career U-turn and started working in startups. I love the 0 to 1 journey - thinking from first principles, high ownership, and quick execution is something which appeals to me. My top strengths are that I am almost painfully customer centric, have a solid business and common sense, and I try to be better everyday (except weekends and birthdays).Trying to gather the courage to build a startup of my own someday. (Hit me up if you are too)Always happy to share my experiences with young folks so they can avoid mistakes I made. Hit me up if you have a question I can help with.
