Give a brief account of your professional journey.
I have always had this idea to usher some thing distinct into this world. Being an architect, each of the companies I had worked in enhanced the overall growth of my learnings. Within each company, the independent lead design role, with dependency on completions before the preliminary deadlines, has helped to build on my knowledge tremendously. I have always focused on the bigger picture. The enthusiasm of giving something new to the already brimming architecture industry was a tough challenge and gave me the required zeal to enter the art and design field. The only way to stand out from the crowd was by ensuring a terrific bounce of newness. Keeping the fundamentals in place, till date our
approach has been towards problem solving in the best possible and most comfortable way for our clients. Strategies for success have inculcated leadership ideologies in me, and with each passing day, the focus has only been on innovations setting us apart from the rest.

Relationship building is one of my biggest considerations. Constant perseverance, strong communication, and negotiation skills are the qualities I have manifested. Being an introvert, I had always focused on improving my weaknesses through learning. I did realize that thriving and paying special attention to areas of weakness would yield the greatest return on my investment.
The willingness to stick with a bold course of action, an unconventional business strategy, a one-of-a-kind product development roadmap, and a contentious marketing campaign even when the rest of the world wonders why you are not marching in lockstep with the status quo have been my true mark. Imparting the same amount of empathy, discipline, and education further I have firmly believed that fostering a learning culture is essential to our success.
