About

Since you are viewing this page, I assume you are interested in knowing who I am. My (rather out of date!) resume (pdf) and LinkedIn profile covers most of my academic and work-related accomplishments, but if you are interested in knowing about me beyond what is listed there, read on.

What I do: I am an MBA candidate (Class of 2011) enrolled at UCLA Anderson School of Management, Los Angeles. Prior to joining business school, I was working at Research In Motion as a Team Lead in the Mobile Voice Solutions division. Although a technologist by profession, I have progressively transitioned into business roles during my employment at Oracle Corporation, Ditech Networks and Research In Motion over the course of my career. I hold a MS degree in Computer Science from University of Calgary and a Bachelor of Engineering in Electronics and Communications Engineering from Birla Institute of Technology, India. I was an Alberta Ingenuity scholar and iCORE scholar for the duration of my Masters at University of Calgary and a University Gold Medalist for my undergraduate degree at Birla Institute of Technology.

Where I Live: I currently live in Los Angeles, California. I have moved here pretty recently so I am still exploring the city and the neighboring areas. Prior to moving to Los Angeles, I have lived at Waterloo and Calgary in Canada and Lucknow, Allahabad, Calcutta, Patna, Ranchi, Dhanbad and Yamuna Nagar in India. 

What I do for fun: Although my busy schedule doesn’t give me much free time these days, I do enjoy hiking when I get a chance. Being close to Canadian Rockies when I used to live in Calgary about three years back, I had my fair share of being outdoors and enjoy the nature. I am also an avid reader and like reading fiction novels. Jeffery Archer happens to be my favorite author and I proudly claim that I have read every book that he has ever written.

Places I have traveled to:

Although not quite a globe trotter yet, I have taken roads ‘off the beaten paths’ in US, Canada, India, Japan, Singapore, France, Australia and Nepal.
