My career began in the United States with an automotive logistics firm, where I delivered material handling solutions for leading automakers like GM, Ford, and Chrysler until 2005.In 2006, I returned to India and joined Nokia’s mobile manufacturing facility in Sriperumbudur as a Planning Manager. Over the years, I held various roles within the organization, including assignments in Finland and China. My last position at Nokia was in Program Management and Operations Strategy. In 2013, I made the decision to leave Nokia and transition into entrepreneurship to pursue my aspirations.Since then, I have been a full-time Entrepreneur, running ventures in Procurement Services, Engineering Audits, Asset Valuation and Healthcare Solutions. I am focusing on scaling these enterprises across India and also looking at expanding their presence in Southeast Asia and the Middle East. All my Ventures have been bootstrapped with Self Funds. I’m a staunch advocate of India’s growth story, firmly believing in the immense potential and untapped opportunities across various sectors. I remain passionate about contributing to this dynamic and evolving landscape through innovative and impactful ventures.
