Beyond Work
Outside of professional work, I have several deep interests that shape how I think and live.
Spirituality
I maintain a serious engagement with Vedic astrology, the Ramcharitmanas, and meditation practices. These aren't casual interests-they're frameworks I use to understand purpose, time, and uncertainty.
Animals & Rescue
I have a profound connection with animals, particularly cats. I support animal rescue work and believe in the responsibility we have toward creatures who cannot advocate for themselves.
Adventure Sports
Skydiving, PADI-certified diving, ziplining, rappelling, and more. There's something about putting yourself in situations that require full presence - no multitasking, no distraction - that I find clarifying.
Travel & Languages
Travelled to 16+ countries across Asia, Europe, and the Americas. Living and working across four countries has made me fluent in reading context - how systems, cultures, and institutions operate differently depending on where you are. Travel is less about tourism and more about pattern recognition.
I speak English and Hindi, and have learnt both French and Sanskrit - two languages as different from each other as they could be, and both endlessly rewarding.
Writing
I also write about society, culture, and the questions that make people uncomfortable. You can find that work at The Uncomfortable Enquiry →
Performing Arts
I've been learning piano for the past couple of years, and I've sung for most of my life - both casually, without a performance goal attached. There's something about learning an instrument as an adult that's clarifying in a way that's hard to explain. Guitar is next. I occasionally share these on Instagram - unpolished and in progress, which is exactly the point.
