Service shaped how I work.

Eleven years in the Indian Navy, enterprise AI at PwC, an IE MBA in Madrid, and ventures including TrackSense, Gamucha, and Weave. The work changed. The values did not.

The Submarine Service taught me that leadership begins with responsibility—for the system, for the team, and for the consequences of your decision.

In the Indian Navy I served 11 years, including technical operations, safety, modernisation, and training across conventional and nuclear submarines, and three years as a Radiation Safety Officer. I am a fourth-generation officer. I volunteered for that service; it still shapes how I decide.

At PwC I helped put GenAI into daily operations. At Gamucha I lead AI product work. With TrackSense I am building rail monitoring, including a paid Indian Railways pilot listed on my CV. Weave is a community product I founded in Madrid. I also advise on defense-tech and safety-critical AI.

I look at the whole picture

Technology does not work on its own. I look at the people, rules, incentives, and conditions around it.

I make responsibility clear

People should know what happens next, who makes the call, and what to do when the answer is uncertain.

I build for the day after launch

A prototype is only the beginning. I care about whether people use it, trust it, and know what to do when it goes wrong.

Learning, leading, and building in Madrid.

At IE I have treated the MBA as a workshop: ventures, student communities, and AI-policy work alongside classmates from many countries.

I serve as President of the IE Aerospace & Defence Club and the IE Music Club, and as Vice President for Events of the IE Entrepreneurship Club.
I was honoured to receive the IE Blue Torch Award.
My teams won the IE Tech Venture Lab and IE Climate Tech Lab.
I represented IE at AI-governance hackathons in Berlin and Warsaw.
I advise on defense-tech and safety-critical AI, keeping a person accountable when the system is uncertain.

The Navy taught me responsibility.
IE broadened my view.

I came to IE Business School to learn how other people see the world—founders, investors, operators, and classmates from many countries. Alongside the MBA, I led communities, built ventures, represented IE at AI-governance hackathons in Berlin and Warsaw, and tried to contribute wherever I could.
