Some people have 20 years of work experience which is 1 year of experience repeated 20 times.That's not for me. There is always a new challenge on the horizon; a problem that needs to be solved. It is this desire that has led me to work at tractor manufacturing plants, consult start ups in New York while doing my MS at Columbia University, design engines for Unmanned Aerial Vehicles and work with brands, large and small to connect them to the right audiences on LinkedIn. Bigger the challenge, bigger is the opportunity to make a difference. I take my chances and I live life with no regrets. We are here for a very small time and there is a lot to be learnt and a lot to be done. It's up to us how fascinating we make our journey
