Brought up in a business family, my dinner time conversations usually revolved around innovations and new industry opportunities. Exposure to these conversations at an early age laid the foundation for my entrepreneurial journey and shaped my thought process early on.As an entrepreneur, I built a reputable brand in the Indian home decor industry. Over the years I formed strategic partnerships with e-commerce and industry giants such as Amazon, Flipkart and Reliance and the venture saw explosive growth. I went to successfully franchise the brand and opened its first store in 2016. The brand's growth was also recognized and awarded by both Amazon and Flipkart. This consequently led to the profitable sale of the brand in 2018.Outside of work, I enjoy my free time running and on occasion training for marathons. Apart from this, I am an avid traveller and take pleasure in both globe trotting and relaxing in the bounties of nature with camping and hiking activities.
