About me
I am a person who derives satisfaction and value from being of use to the people around him, especially in an environment where the group objective is something meaningful. It keeps me focussed and motivated to know that I am part of a whole that is contributing something.
Sounds a bit corny but I started in industries that I felt conflicted about and learnt over time that if something is worthwhile, I feel very lucky to be a part of it and that makes me enjoy it all the more.
