About me
My journey from Engineering to Mentoring has been full of learning as well as challenging opportunities. I graduated as a Production Engineer in 1989 from Mumbai University. I worked in multiple industries and sectors for 30+ years, covering areas like manufacturing, EPC Design & Project Management (Water Treatment Industry), IT Consulting, Project & Portfolio Management, Quality Assurance, People Management, Training, and Mentoring.
During this tenure, I gained experience working with clients across geographies, including India, NA, Europe, and southeast Asia, with a team size ranging from 50 to 500+. It helped me develop an analytical mind, the ability to collaborate, an empathetic approach, and the urge to help others succeed. I decided to move out of a corporate job ahead of retirement age to follow my passions:
- Working with the younger generation to mentor and coach them and
- Volunteering for a social cause in the diverse social structure of society.
