TL;DR: India -> US for master's when I was 21. Joined Salesforce as a PM. Zero passion. Paid off loan & quit after 2.5 yrs. Got my O-1A extraordinary visa in 2023. Published 2 books & started a community to help immigrants get talent visas. Now I'm writing my third book (a novel) on a farm: 1000 Days of Love. Also, I love singing!👉 For brand partnerships, email sumukh@stonesway.co. ….Hi :)I entered the US in 2017 for my master’s at Columbia. After graduating, I joined Salesforce as a PM — thinking it was the dream.Within a year, I knew I wanted to quit corporate life, forever.I found my calling elsewhere: in publishing books & building communities that had real-world impact.So, I self-published my first book — Admitted — during the pandemic in 2020 to help study abroad aspirants. After that, I was hooked. Now, I HAD to quit my job. Except… immigration. “You can’t just quit your job on an H-1B,” someone reminded me.So I spent 2021 researching ways to become a solopreneur. I came across the O-1 visa.I spent 12 months and $15,000. Alas, they sent me a denial notice in May 2022. It was a harrowing experience.When it was clear I couldn’t do what I wanted in the US, I decided to move back to India. On January 2nd, 2023, I landed in India to start afresh.7 months later: I published my second book “Unshackled.”8 months later: I launched a community around the book to help immigrants. 9 months later: I got my O-1A visa approved within 3 days. The same visa they denied me for, in 2022.Since Aug 2023, "Unshackled" has been read by thousands & we've grown to 750+ lifetime members at unshackled.club. In Aug 2024, Unshackled merged with Greencard Inc. :) 📕 Right now, I'm writing my third book on a farm: "1000 Days of Love", a novel on family & love inspired by real experiences.

Data Scientist And Student ConsultantGood Uncle Sep 2018 - Dec 2018New York, New YorkI briefly took the avatar of a data scientist when I was part of an awesome team of 5 students from Columbia Engineering and Business School. What did we do? We built a machine learning model (using poisson GLM and gradient boosted trees) to predict sales for a food delivery startup. What was the impact? We built a model that could save $30,000 for the startup and reduce food wastage by 30%. Our professor also wanted to convert our work into a case study for future classes. =) -
Technical Program ManagerSalesforce May 2018 - Aug 2018Greater Seattle AreaThis internship was how I eventually ended up in the cybersecurity team at Salesforce. Through a serendipitous series of events, I ended up as part of this team where I spent the summer working on some interesting projects: working alongside an engineering intern to build a feature that saves engineer's time and writing a product spec. I also had a *blast* with the other interns that summer in Bellevue.

The world's largest non-profit youth-run organization aimed at sending students on volunteering projects abroad to work on the United Nations' 17 SDGs.What did I learn? All sorts of things. I learned to stand in front of a crowd and talk, organize events with minimal resources, how to lead a team, and surf through failures without giving up. What did we accomplish? My team and I sent 15 students to 7 countries on volunteering projects in those 20 months. We organized a dance and music event where 1,200+ students participated (the largest turnout for a single event organized by a club), partnered with local NGOs to send volunteers, and did a bunch of smaller things that I've since forgotten. Since I've graduated, my successors have sent 100+ students to 25+ countries. Show less -
