— MORE ABOUT HIM —

In His Own Words…

Professional Life:

I aspire to be a leader that continues to inspire change and growth throughout my professional journey, which has been a great learning experience.

As the leader of Business Needs Inc. (est. 2004), I have grown the company’s presence in IT and business consulting, project management, and mobile product development. In 2018, I launched OnPoint Wares Inc., an online retail business to enable local businesses with affordable signs and flags, followed by R&R Industries Inc. in 2019 for manufacturing and digital media businesses, uplifting aspiring filmmakers.

My corporate leadership experience spans over 35 years including my time at Johnson and Johnson as Global Product Director, where I drove global IT projects targeted at automating business processes. Prior to that, I managed Patient Business Services at American Medical Response and spent nine years as Technical Director for an IT company in India.

Most recently, I have been committed to working on my passion to bring innovative products that benefit people and our planet. Under Business Needs Inc., I acquired and helped grow two new companies: Riyu, an activewear brand focused on health and wellness, and Harshu, a company driving environmental change through compostable tableware.

I am very passionate about people development, Project management and leadership. I earned a Doctorate in Business Administration (Organizational Leadership). The culmination of my education and work experiences reflects my effort to make a lasting change on the planet and the people around me.

Personal Life:

I pride myself on my personal endeavors just as much as my professional. I am dedicated to spending time with my family including my wonderful wife and two kids.

Apart from family and friends, I’m also big on cricket, basketball, and staying active in general. As a stickler for fitness, I aim to get 25k steps everyday amidst my busy schedule.

Of course, my passion for business and people remains a hobby, even outside of work. I aim to push myself to read daily. From Ken Blanchard to Robert Frost, I love consuming relevant materials.
