A B O U T M E :
- I run a Talent Management company called Think Talent
(www.thinktalentindia.com). About 50+ people in our team help
create solutions for clients in four areas: Assess, Engage, Perform
and Develop.
- All of our solutions are a combination of content, technology
platform and consulting. Practical and easy to use, our solution
philosophy is to be simple and impactful.
- 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 paid off—creating young
entrepreneurs, solid corporate executives and just unique
individuals in their own right.
- History, reading and music are all enthralling activities for me. I
mentor a few young companies/teams and enjoy their energy and
the astoundingly grounded thought process.
