I grew up in the colourful streets of India on a healthy diet of comic books and curries. Street smarts and common sense were two essential traits I developed quite early in my life. My natural curiosity to understand people, their behaviour and motivations led me to the path of entrepreneurship.At 15, I started my first business, and by the time I was 30 — I had already built four businesses and two start-ups all the while working full-time as a designer. It didn't take me long to realise that my real passion lies in the the 'human side' of business, and as Steve Jobs once put it — you can only connect the dots looking backwards.Today, I work in design, at the intersection of art and engineering. I spend most of my time understanding human problems, staging experiences, defining processes and omni-channel journeys that focus on people and are culturally relevant. I am proud that I've had the opportunity to work with some of the best people around the world that has led me to create real value and impact.My core competencies include:■ User Experience Design Strategy■ Building Design Capability and Teams■ Leading Discovery Workshops■ Customer Journey Mapping■ Hands-on Interaction Design■ User Experience Research Methods■ Startup Ideation and Seed Funding■ Investor Pitch and Presentation■ Executive Stakeholder Management
