“I grew up in the heart of Chennai, where life moved fast, and so did we. The streets were loud, the pace was relentless, but every corner, every challenge, shaped who I am today. That chaos? It trained me. To hustle. To dream bigger than what was in my wallet.
We didn’t have much growing up. But we had grit. My father, the quiet pillar of our home, never let us feel the weight of his sacrifices. He worked endlessly, pouring every rupee into our education, not because it was easy, but because it was the one thing he believed could change our lives.
That belief became the fire in me. My brother and I knew we couldn’t just sit back. We took up odd jobs, earned our keep, and learned early that success doesn’t come served, it’s chased down.
As I entered the corporate world, I found my rhythm in sales and marketing. I worked with some of the best brands, scaled the ladder, and made my mark. But somewhere along the way, the excitement dulled. The job was stable, but my soul craved movement, creation, impact.
So, I took the leap.
With a few friends and over a decade of experience, I co-founded a venture. It wasn’t smooth sailing, we hit rough patches, even forcing me to return briefly to the corporate world. But I never stopped building behind the scenes. Because deep down, I knew: I wasn’t meant to follow. I was meant to create.
Then came the insight. While the world was going digital, the offline market still struggled – unorganised, untapped, chaotic. And that chaos? I knew how to navigate it. That’s when our business found its real purpose: consulting for brands and launching a one-stop solution for DOOH advertising, from printing to promotion.
Today, I’m building the life I once dreamed of, all because I married the love of my life. “Thank you” will not be a phrase for what she has done to me, for me! We have a beautiful baby girl, and she’s my lucky charm.
Her arrival lit up a new chapter. It’s almost like the universe nodded in agreement, telling me, “It’s your time now.” Struggles began to ease, clarity replaced chaos, and doors started opening, ones I’d been knocking on for years.
Today, I’m building the life I once dreamed of in those narrow lanes of Chennai. A life born from hustle, sacrifice, and unshakable belief.
And every day, I wake up ready – to build more, dream more, be more.”
