About me
- I was born and brought up in a beautiful and quiet valley surrounded by green and tall mountains in the northern part of India. Grew up in times when every family's passion was to raise their child as an engineer or doctor. I was quite fortunate to get admission at a premier institute NIT, Warangal to study Computer Science and Engineering.
The IT industry in India was starting to boom when I graduated due to high demands of software professionals to tackle Y2K problem and offshoring. In the midst of that I joined TCS (Tata Consultancy Services), biggest software house in India. After working in Delhi & Mumbai, I was seconded to a consulting assignment at Nokia(Telecommunications) in beautiful and peaceful Helsinki. After completing the assignment I changed job and joined Ericsson (Telecommunications) in Sweden. Marriage was to follow next, which changed my life and made me a lot more focused.
From thereon I moved to Ericsson in UK where I got a chance to work on different kinds of roles ranging from design, development, support, solution integration, technical pre-sales and team management. In parallel, I also pursued a part-time MSc in Communications, Network & Software to broaden my technical horizon. My wife also gave birth to a lovely boy and a girl, and time flew. Currently I am a Technical Delivery Manager in the organisation leading technical project teams.
MBA at SBS,Oxford is the biggest undertaking in my life and I look forward to broaden my horizons with better understanding of business and management and also brushing up my leadership skills.
I have a very challenging daily schedule balancing all the different acts, but hope it will be rewarding at the end.
