About Me

Born and brought up in Aurangabad, and currently based in Brussels, Belgium, I believe that being genuine and authentic is essential to building meaningful connections. I strive to make every conversation thoughtful and worthwhile.

For me, work is a form of worship—approaching it with sincerity, ownership, and commitment. This naturally brings accountability and transparency to everything I do. I actively look beyond my immediate responsibilities, learning upstream and downstream aspects of my role to solve problems effectively and gain a holistic perspective. I also place strong emphasis on applying what I learn, as practice makes learning both engaging and enduring.

I try not to get too comfortable and intentionally shake things up—a mindset reflected in my decision to move cities and travel, seeking growth through new perspectives and environments.

While I once believed multitasking was essential, I now lean strongly toward deep work, focusing on one task at a time with clarity and intention. Currently, I’m exploring ways to build personal systems through structure and compartmentalization to support deeper focus and creativity.

Outside of work, I enjoy reading fiction and self-improvement literature and have recently taken up running, with a goal of completing a half-marathon sometime next year.
