: About Me

A Consultant by profession, I have been working in the IT outsourcing/KPO sector after obtaining an MBA degree from one of India's top 10 B-Schools, 3 years ago. I am a marketing & writing enthusiast and I have been able to channel my enthusiasm into authoring, evaluating and responding to RFPs/RFIs. My domain experience covers Retail Information Systems & Supply Chain. Apart from being an APICS Certified Supply Chain Professional, I also possess an engineering degree in Electronics & Telecommunications.

Personally, my life revolves around my family, especially, my daughter Samidha. Apart from writing a blog dedicated to her, I also occasionally write about Mumbai, my hometown. Other areas that I would like to dig my heels into: nature, ornithology, Kerala and whatever that holds my interest long enough to write sensibly!
