It is customary for this page “About the
Author” to be a curriculum vitae of the author in
terms of academic and employment
achievements. However, I wanted to use this
page to present a little more than just my
curriculum vitae.
Growing Up
I am a teenager with my share of ups and
downs. While my mom ensured I excel in
studies resulting in me having over 100 value
add certificates like spelling certificates, science
certificates, mathematics, etc. before I finished
high school, I was always inclined to be an
athlete. I was the team captain for Tug of War
Maharashtra State, and an award winner in 200
and 400 meters running competitions. I was the
school head boy and the house captain. And at
my college, I was Mr. Freshers.
What Made Me Think?
I am fortunate to have an informal personal
mentoring board guiding me since an early age.
Over 20 senior management professionals (who
I call uncle) allow me a meeting once a month to
feed me coffee, pizza and ice-creams, and
discuss whats new in my life on a one-to-onebasis. It is such a privilege and the term ‘seek
and you shall find’ is so true since I have these
great minds helping me at every step.
Way Ahead
I am currently a student at VSIT, Mumbai. I
will be attending University of Toledo from 2019
to 2021 for my Bachelor of Business
Administration. I am also pursuing my CFP and
keen to obtain my Masters from an Ivy League
Business School. I plan to work as an investment
banker and a part-time motivational speaker.
My Earlier Book
“Tales of Jalaram Bapa” is the first book
which I co-authored with my younger brother.
I was 14 then. My book is available at
leading sites like Amazon.com, Amazon.in,
Ebay.com, Abebooks.com, barnesandnoble.com,
Ebay.au, rediffbooks.com and many other sites.
