Three institutions built from scratch. The joy of turning an idea on paper into something real and significant has always excited me.
- At Prudential ICICI AMC, we became the largest private sector AMC in India in under two years.
- At Prudential Corporation Asia, over 7 years, we built a fund management business across 10 countries, scaling it to $70 billion in AUM and making it the second-largest retail fund manager in Asia.
- At Aditya Birla Capital, a loss-making business was transformed over 15 years into one of India’s largest, most diversified, and highly profitable non-banking financial conglomerates.
The pattern across all three: clear thinking, strong execution, and a team that always went the extra mile.
I now work with Boards, entrepreneurs, NGOs and PE/VC funds to build businesses that last. I also write about what thirty-five years in the room teaches you that no textbook does.
Over a career of working across Asia, I kept notes on what worked, what didn’t, and what the decisions looked like from the inside. Substack is where I’m writing about that and more.
Exponential growth, whether of a business or of the self, is what drives me. I have a proven track record of building businesses from an idea on a document to a significant business, not just in India but across Asia. And not once, but with three different organisations. As a lifelong learner, I enjoy exploring different interests be it music, writing, travel or sport.
