I am fortunate to have a very independent, professionally committed yet extremely loving and caring mother. She was a producer at Doordarshan and her commitment to family and work instilled in me my very first lessons of ‘management skills’.

She is my biggest inspiration and has played a key role in my overall growth and development. From introducing me to the importance of reading, playing multiple games like basketball, swimming, running, and pursuing hobbies like singing to teaching me about finances and decision-making ability, she has been a powerful influence in my life. 

She has taught me not to be afraid of dreaming big and taking risks. Giving 100 percent to everything I do, whether it is the business or managing home, has been another piece of her advice that I have been sincerely following. I have carried and implemented all these lessons with me till this very day and they have translated into sound business decisions.
