About Me

I am a first year MBA student at NYU Stern School of Business, specializing in Entrepreneurship and Finance where I am exploring Tech Startups and Venture Capital and resisting the ‘charms’ of Investment Banking & Consulting. Prior to joining business school, I worked as a software engineer in wireless systems and Wall Street. I did MS in Computer System from University of Illinois, Urbana Champaign.

I aspire to start my own venture some day and promote entrepreneurship among youths in India. Till then, I would like to work at a fast paced startup in bizdev/product roles or a technology/media oriented Venture Capital firm.

I am currently based in Jersey/New York area and like to stare at the downtown Manhattan skyline often. The header image on my blog is my tribute to the most mesmerizing line of concrete blocks in the world. My home and heart, of course, lies in India.

About This Blog

On this page, I play the part of a raconteur trying to put whats happening around in perspective. Here, I discuss practical issues.

The new focus of this blog is on transcribing my experiences of pursuing entrepreneurial career, living down the Business School and aftermath of it all. I occasionally discuss issues relevant to India – politics, social dogma, education etc. Rest, depending on my mood. I keep fairly broad interests in technology and plan to start my venture some day. Feel free to drop me a message if you are applying to Business School.

Finally, I write for fun and I hope you have fun reading it.
