Could you please share details about your professional journey and background, along with the factors that drive your daily activities?
I have a background in civil engineering and pursued additional higher education courses. Following this, I completed a Business Management program from IIM Tirchy Commencing my professional career in 1993 as a site engineer at B L Kashyap & Sons worked for 28 years & later in Kalpataru Projects International as Vice president.

My primary responsibilities included project management, cost management, technical support, and coordination with consultants. Over the past three decades, I have garnered valuable experience and currently have established myself in Hyderabad and Bangalore.
To stay motivated, my daily routine involves waking up at 6:30 AM and dedicating 45 to 60 minutes to yoga. This serves as a key source of motivation for me. Subsequently, I plan my day, reviewing tasks, meetings, and appointments with clients and higher-level management. I find great enthusiasm in connecting with new clients and engaging with individuals at elevated managerial levels.
