18. About me..
 I’m a avid believer in people and their potential, and have not been proved too
wrong yet. My biggest investments in trusting and just letting people ‘be’ have all
paid off—creating young entrepreneurs, solid corporate executives and just
unique individuals in their own right. Trust and patience with people come easy to
me.
 My boutique consulting company (www.thinktalentindia.com) is trying to work at
people, team and organizational development solutions for organizations, that are
creative yet practical. These are mostly tuned towards the new world with
continuously evolving features of how people interact, learn and use skills and
knowledge.
 Coaching, consulting, history, reading and music are all close and enthralling
activities for me. I mentor a few young companies/teams and enjoy the energy
and the astoundingly grounded thought process youth brings.
