He jumped the corporate ship to partner PEs and strategic players in acquisition and turnround of assets in Alcoholic beverages domain and is credited with raising capital and bringing about two back to back acquisitions. At work he is mimed for his pet peeve of chiding people for not retaining and carrying forward institutional memory resulting in death and decay of marquee brands and businesses. Holding forth “The struggle of a man against persecution is the struggle of memory against forgetting”.
He comes from an Armed forces background, and a family in which education was not just the best option but the only option.. Siblings for who Amar Chitra Katha, Astreix, Indrajal and the likes became daily staple.
Laxmi is married to Rachana who in his words is a comrade more than a wife. Telling him, if providence extends hand for a slam, try not to settle for a game.
Val stories is his attempt to preserve memories and carry them forward. Memories of a memorable childhood and…. of a boy’s father.
