Passionate marketer keen to use my diverse global & Asia Pacific business experiences in making a positive impact to the world around us (hopefully "enriching" myself in many ways too).

Hi there! I have an "unused" Mechanical Engg graduate degree and a MBA in Marketing. I grew up in Bombay, India, and worked in different parts of the country in sales and marketing roles. I intentionally zig-zagged with different industry experiences ranging from Appliances (GE) to Alcobev (Diageo) to Media & Entertainment (STAR TV) during my 10 years of post-MBA rich work experiences in India. Feel free to ask me some interesting stories about those years. I promise you it will not be a dull moment for you to hear about those!
In 2000, my wife and I decided to leave India and head to Singapore for diverse work experiences as new opportunities called out to both of us. Singapore, one of Asia's most vibrant, green (garden city) and business oriented megacities has been our new home for over 20 years now allowing us to explore every single part of Asia both for work as well as leisure. Asia as a region is an eye opener, we have one of the fastest growing economies in the world, hubs of innovation, digital excellence, diverse cultures and tons of interesting complexities that we live (and grow) with! I have worked in various global organizations in Asia including Heineken (15yrs), HP (4yrs) and now with Autodesk since 2019. I have been instrumental in supporting these organizations and global brands to establish their presence in the Asia Pacific region, nurtured these brands and helped build vital business connections for our teams in these markets. I am a passionate intrapreneur, and working with people of diverse cultures/skills is immensely exciting to me!
You could say that I understand the Asia Pacific business climate, our regional nuances, Asian consumers, our culture and unique ways of working with different countries and cultures. Most of all I love working at Autodesk, where I believe that our brand & business is at the intersection of constant innovation and doing greater good to build a better world for all around us.
With over 20years of corporate / professional Business, Sales, and Marketing experiences that I have been fortunate to experience, I am now with great humility ready to personally "give back" and help build a better work through the pro bono work that Autodesk teams are involved with across Asia Pacific / Japan regions. I look forward to leading, managing or contributing in any possible to interesting pro bono projects and challenges.
