Graduated with BSc in physics from St. Xaviers College, Ahmedabad. I started my sales career with Dalmia Resorts International, a tough time-sharing job and first brush with direct sales. This exposure gave me a tremendous insight in the travel and tourism market and I landed up with a job in Orbit travels in early 1995.

I eventually realized the importance of a professional degree and went on to pursue MBA in the year 1996.

Qualification: MBA (Marketing) with distinctions from IMS, DAVV, Indore

Career Graph: Prior to MBA I had worked with Dalmia Resorts and Orbit Travels as Regional Sales Executive for couple of years.

Post MBA I have more than 8 years experience in Media Marketing and Advertising. I have worked with respected media houses like Dainik Bhaskar, Indian Express and The Times of India.

In advertising I worked with Grey Worldwide (which is 100% subsidiary of Grey Global group with Head office of Indian operations in Mumbai) in Ahmedabad for almost 5 years. I joined Grey in the year 2000 as Account Executive and left Grey in the year 2006 as Account Group Head. During my tenure in Grey I handled brands like Cera Sanitaryware, Digjam Suiting, Bell Ceramics and also handled government events and exhibitions.

I looked after the new business pitch in the agency and co-ordinated with creative & account planning departments during the pitch.

"For me, eChai is a second home. I've been associated with it since the early days, when it was already setting a different tone for how startup communities could work. As a traditional business owner entering the new-age D2C space, eChai supported me in every direction. Over the years, it became my window to the startup world — and also gave me lifelong friends who continue to show up, for business and beyond."

"eChai has played a truly pivotal role in HummingBird’s journey — even before Day Zero. From ideation to establishment and into growth, it’s been a constant source of support. It connected me with incredible people who’ve become more than just friends. One of the biggest reasons I chose to stay in Ahmedabad is because of the eChai community. It has shaped my growth — both personally and professionally — in ways that are hard to articulate. Honestly, words fall short when I try to express what eChai means to me. I’m deeply thankful and forever grateful to eChai for being such an integral part of my journey."
