for the latter, I immersed myself in the realm of
hardcore sales, where tangible results served

organization, driven by a sense of loyalty and
dedication.
Over 32 years, I traversed the corporate
landscape, ascending the ranks within two
organizations. My tenure was characterized
by unwavering loyalty, a trait that seems
increasingly rare in today’s fast-paced world.
From electronics to seafood, my career
took me on a journey filled with
challenges and opportunities,
each contributing to my growth
and evolution. Specializing in the
seafood industry,
my focus
growth by expanding operational horizons. The
extensive network I cultivated over the years
continues to be a valuable asset, facilitating my
transition into consultancy from the comfort of

advice to aspiring professionals: treat every
organization as if it were your own and strive
to propel it forward. Embrace the perspective
of an owner, and watch how it transforms your
approach towards work.
In closing, I extend special gratitude to Rasika
(for you Prof Rasika Datar), whose efforts kept
our IMDR cohort connected throughout the
years. It’s through the bonds forged during our
MBA journey that we continue to thrive and
succeed, embodying the spirit of collaboration
and camaraderie that defines our collective
journey towards excellence.
