My Purpose
When Love and Excellence become equal partners, they create value for all—not by rescuing, but by helping others discover their own strength. Love and Courage uplift the soul, while misplaced Fear and Anger breed downfall.
Through my work in Movies, Books, and Coaching, I strive to embody the spirit of Love and Excellence. The mentors and experiences that shaped me instilled these values deeply, reminding me that true growth is nurtured through guidance and gratitude. From that foundation arises my purpose: to help people grow with mindfulness, lead with integrity, and create meaningful impact.
I offer what I can—trusting it may inspire others to rise in their own strength.

First Flame
Growing up, my first encounter with the arts came through a comic book whose vivid illustrations stirred my imagination. At just five years old, the seeds of visual storytelling were quietly planted in me. That early spark not only deepened my spiritual leanings but also awakened a fascination with performance and film—later nurtured by a teacher who cast me as a freedom fighter in a school play.
I still recall those joyful days, fashioning a cotton moustache and fixing it to my face with glue. By the age of eleven, I had grown bolder on stage, performing a 25-page monologue as Kattabomman, the valiant king and freedom fighter.
Roots of Inquiry
My childhood unfolded in the pristine countryside of rural India, where I found joy in both academics and the arts.
One day, my beloved aunt Kalyani placed a book on Buddha in my hands. That simple gift changed everything. Its pages awakened a question that has never left me: “What is life’s purpose, if we are to die one day?”
From her, I also received the gift of literature in Hinduism—stories and scriptures that stirred a deeper search within me. Those early moments became the roots of a lifelong journey of inquiry and reflection.
Deepening the Quest
I graduated with distinction from Asia’s oldest technical institute, Guindy Engineering College (est. 1794, now under Anna University).
​
Alongside my academic pursuits, I was drawn inward—immersing myself in self-inquiry and meditation through the teachings of Vethathiri Maharishi and Jiddu Krishnamurti.
Finding My Voice
I began my professional journey with The Times of India (est. 1838), one of the nation’s most prestigious institutions. There, I honed my skills in media and communication, even as I quietly nurtured the childhood passion that had always guided me—the desire to help people grow.
Crossing Continents
Two years into my professional life, I joined Infosys, India’s flagship IT company, where I experienced rapid career growth. Around this time, I also discovered Heartfulness meditation, which deepened my capacity to listen and respond to people’s personal challenges with empathy and clarity. In 2000, my journey carried me to the United States, where I continued both my professional and inner explorations.
Leading with Trust
At Infosys, I grew into the role of a team builder, crisis manager, and motivator, guiding large teams through demanding projects. My work with clients spanned the globe—across the US, India, Singapore, the UK, and Switzerland—helping them shape their vision, align their people, and harness technology. Over time, I came to be recognized as a trusted leader, not only in business but also in personal development, transforming challenges into opportunities for growth and success.
Build Your System
In time, I became an independent consultant, coach, and globetrotter, gaining invaluable insights into the field of human potential—learning to distinguish authentic leaders from those who exploit others. These years of study and personal experience culminated in the creation of BUILD YOUR SYSTEM, a signature workshop designed to help individuals craft the system that works best for them. You can explore this, along with my other workshops and my approach to coaching, in the Personal Mastery section of the website.
Expanding Horizons
I went on to earn a Master’s degree in Psychology and became certified as both a Heartfulness Meditation Trainer and a Neuro-Linguistic Programming Practitioner. Along the way, I authored books that capture real-life struggles and triumphs, giving voice to stories of resilience. My journey also led me to launch a film company, while creating offerings in coaching, consulting, and workshops.
To this day, I continue to refine and expand these contributions, guided by the values that first set me on this path.If you wish, you may also explore my work in films and books, where these values take shape in creative and transformative ways.
