Opportunity is rarely where the infrastructure already is.

Two decades in consulting, international sales, and business development have taught me one thing: opportunity is rarely where the infrastructure already is.

01 · About Me

I build businesses and partnerships in the places most people overlook.

Connect the right people, understand what each side truly needs, and build partnerships that create lasting value.

I build businesses and partnerships in the places most people overlook — across India, Africa, the Americas, and the emerging markets in between.

I am Executive Chairperson and Director of the Board at Factotum Global, a technology and business-services firm with operations in India, the USA, and West Africa. What began as software development, cloud, and managed IT services has grown into something broader — we now work across healthcare technology through Factohealth, cross-border trade and commodity export, and investment facilitation in emerging African markets.

As Vice President at SDSS® Global Ltd, I lead the firm's Africa operations — developing our presence across Liberia, Sierra Leone, Senegal, Gambia, Guinea-Bissau, Ghana, and neighbouring markets. There, I take the Stop Doing Stupid Stuff® methodology to government, enterprise, and nonprofit clients across the region — aligning people, process, data, and technology before technology is deployed. I build and manage regional partnerships, client relationships, and market-entry strategy, and deliver customer-experience, BPO, and CRM transformation engagements adapted to local operating realities.

I also currently serve as Chief Financial Officer (CFO) at Arya Hospital, a multi-speciality hospital in Mysuru, where I lead financial strategy, operations, and growth.

Across everything I do, the thread is the same: connect the right people, understand what each side truly needs, and build partnerships that create lasting value on all sides.

06 · How I Work

Principles that travel across markets.

Opportunity before infrastructure.

I go where the potential is, not only where the roads already lead. The greatest value is created in markets others haven't yet reached.

People and process before technology.

Real transformation aligns people, process, and data first — technology follows. It's a principle that holds true from a boardroom in Bangalore to a ministry in Monrovia.

Partnerships that last.

I don't chase transactions. I build relationships and corridors of trade that create value for everyone involved, for years.

On the ground, across continents.

My strength is genuine presence and real relationships — active engagement in the markets where I work, not distant advice.

07 · Beyond Business

Some work matters because it changes lives.

Outside business, I helped establish Arise Learning, an NGO delivering English-language proficiency to children in rural India. Over 1,200 students have come through the programme.

1,200+ students

It remains the work I'd want to be remembered for.
