I am into business for over 25 years in distribution and networking, having worked with a Fortune 500 MNC. I am also a social entrepreneur who is deeply committed to promoting global sustainability. As the founder and inventor of YHonk, an innovative patent-pending technology for vehicular honking abatement, have established myself as a leading innovator in the noise pollution space in India.
Have been privileged to receive numerous accolades for my work, including recognition as a top emerging start-up from Gujarat and as a global social entrepreneur by the Tie Global Sustainability Summit in 2021. has also been a winner at the #innovate4sdg competition by UNDP, which showcases innovations that contribute to achieving the Sustainable Development Goals.
In addition to working on YHonk, i am involved in mentoring and advising promising start-ups in the areas of waste management, edtech, and D2C. Am also an active consultant and advisor to Wealth out of Waste (WoW), a waste management company, and DuroGreen waste management pvt Ltd, a business organisation into wet waste solutions.
I can without any hard feelings say that, one of my dream startup as a co-founder Tod (Transport on Demand) an Uber of intracity logistics, failed miserably after 2 yrs of hardwork in the year 2015.
My passion for environmental sustainability extends beyond business endeavors. has been working tirelessly to promote the NUC (Noise Under Control) mandate in India, and has personally traveled over 18,000 km across the country, covering 29 state capitals in just 29 days. With an extensive library of over 700 books and 5000 saved articles on Evernote, as a lifelong learner who is always seeking new opportunities for growth and innovation.
