Introduction

Welcome to my home page. Yes its a little different. But it is time that I came to terms with the fact that my insurance rates just dropped not because of my stellar driving, but because now I'm so senile that I'm now considered a lesser threat to society. Well, in a way that kind of hurts my ego because I'm as dangerous to fellow drivers on the road than any other time in my life. I mean my car has all the distractions possible - a cell phone, Eminem as a part of my music collection, drumming on the steering wheel,.. you name it. And...I still veer to drive on the left hand side of the road. I mean is this what finally leads to the mid-life crisis?? People whose insurance rates drop so much that they go out and say that I think to be as dangerous as when I was 21 and drunk, I'm going to buy myself a twin engine Cessna. Or a Porsche.

Holy cow!!

If you want to risk offering me a  job, my resume here. In return I can serenade you with a rendition of Breathless (if you understand Hindi)... or a harmonica version of Vivaldi.

Let me tell you a little more about myself. I'm Hindu Brahmin, somewhat enthusiastic and used to be a vegetarian for about 23 years that I lived in India. Well, cows in India are holy right... but then I  moved to the United States of America. Cows out there weren't holy .... in fact to my horror I realized that they were sluts....deserve to be eaten! So, I changed my ways of life. I eat meat, watch American football and love Sienfeld. At the same time, I still maintain an exotic Indian accent, eat bhel puri and love movies with singing and dancing.

Mumbai to New York

My earlier home page.
Cheerful, young, immature and lively.

I was born in Mumbai, India. For those who know their way around, I schooled in New English School, Government Colony Bandra East, attended Ruparel College, Matunga and then graduated from D.J.Sanghvi College of Engineering, Vile Parle, with a Chemical Engineering degree. After that, I dabbled in chaos and process control at the Chaos Research Group, University of Tennessee, Knoxville  USA; played with bubbles at Oak Ridge National Laboratory and then joined a startup ieWild, in San Diego.

Not bad for starters.

Then our fledging startup got sued by HNC Software leading to the ieWild team joining Fair Isaac. A few months later, HNC settled ieWild's lawsuit. Weeks later, HNC "merged" with Fair Isaac under the Fair Isaac banner. Viva corporate America!! Most recently, I was in financial services consulting first as an Consultant in the Product Development and Analytics group and then as Analytic Science Lead at FairIsaac Corp. 
Impatient with the wonderful life I had at FairIsaac, I managed to stir things up and have resigned to pursue an MBA at Columbia Business School in New York City.
