“I was born into a street that remembers us, not through announcements, but through years of shared lives and familiar faces. My grandfather walked these roads when Anna Nagar was still finding its rhythm. My father stood here with quiet steadiness, believing that service didn’t need attention, only intention. I walk the same streets today, guided by the values they lived by.

Growing up, leadership wasn’t something I read about – I observed it. It was in listening patiently, showing up when it mattered, and taking responsibility without being asked. Somewhere along the way, that clarity stayed with me: politics is my passion, business is my profession, and people remain the purpose behind both.
I think deeply about how systems work and how they can work better. Education and employment, to me, are not policy points but everyday realities that shape dignity and opportunity. Children, women, and the differently-abled deserve environments that support growth, safety, and independence. When gaps appear, they deserve thoughtful action – not noise.

Over time, I’ve been involved in quietly curating and executing initiatives across different aspects of life in Anna Nagar. I believe meaningful work doesn’t always need immediate narration. Some efforts are best understood only when people truly feel the change.
A question I often reflect on is this:
If each of us contributed a little more than expected, how different would our communities look?

My wife has been a steady source of inspiration. Today, she runs a school, and earlier, she worked closely with government schools to set up Montessori classrooms focused purely on children’s welfare.

At home, I am a father of two. I try to listen more than I advise, and I encourage my children to explore their interests freely and choose their own paths. They remind me why the choices we make today matter.
To young people considering their future – whether in business or public life – I truly believe there is room for those who think responsibly and act with intent. You don’t have to choose between success and service; the two can grow together.

I remain rooted in this locality, committed to steady effort, shared progress, and building quietly toward a future that feels fair, inclusive, and hopeful.”
