Necessitating the digital presence, doctors have had to manage offline operations, besides being available on aggregator platforms for teleconsultations, which have limited slots available during the day. In most cases, offline management including seeking clarifications, or appointments is managed through personal chats and calls.

In India, doctors come with the traditional notion that software is tough. They often feel that the prescription which they can write in two minutes will take five minutes using the software as they are not tech-savvy. So, if you can’t get a doctor to use software, which can give instructions to him from time to time, there is very little that they can do in terms of driving health outcomes.  In such a scenario, the solution was going digital.

Additionally, he was a key person in setting up the India advisory arm for one of these multinational consulting firm as a Founding Partner and an India Board member. As of now, he’s a part of the leadership team of Consulting Strategic Business Unit of Tech Mahindra and the global leader for Technology Advisory business unit. For all the roles he has played in the last 10 years, he has  been managing independent business units providing professional services to clients in the area of technology and digital as sole leader owning the P&L, and responsible for sustenance & growth of the same.

When Covid 19 struck us 2020, he was a part of one of these multinational Consulting firms’ India Advisory board running the technology business and office of the CIO Advisory for them. At that point in time, they had just started their advisory/consulting business journey in India and had never expected the unforeseen pandemic. It had been a huge challenge ahead of me and taught me how to sustain a professional services business in the worst possible times – sailing through those tough times indeed has grown me to a better professional who can navigate his way even in the tough-most times.

He moved to an IT Services giant in Kolkata as a part of their Consulting Leadership team (due to a personal priority) amidst the pandemic and took up the challenge of creating and running the Technology Advisory business for them. The initial days were thoroughly challenging as they were still in the era of the “new normal” – connecting with potential clients, team members and colleagues and making them believe the importance of digital and technology consulting and how it actually is rightly the topmost board agenda of the current age. There were initial times when he was ending up spending more than 16-17 hours a day purely on remote calls and video meetings to create that trust of clients and teams, training them, pitching for new work, delivering initial work packets to clients and also in managing/aligning and re-aligning the entire business portfolio based on the dynamic situations. Thanks to the relentless efforts of myself and a motivated team which He had nearly built from scratch and a good set of optimistic clients, they started clocking our numbers and in a period of close to one and half years today they are managing a substantial revenue number with an enviable top-line growth and healthy EBITDA.

As a business leader, this brings immense satisfaction to me as a professional – the joy of giving birth and rearing up a child is something he has really enjoyed, the itch for entrepreneurship which he has always been fortunate to nurture in the organizations he has worked for.

Since, he always wanted to realise his dream of becoming an Army, he tried for Technical Graduate Entry Scheme and got through Service Selection Board (SSB), Bhopal in 1986. He passed out from Indian Military Academy (IMA) as Lieutenant in 1987.

After serving in the Army for around 24 years, he transitioned to Corporate World; which was another challenging decision for him to move from a secure job to an insecure job in 2008. He worked in the IT industry for thirteen years as Vice President & Associate Director till Oct 2021.

Parallelly, he not only transformed his own life but helped others to transform their life through his mentorship programs, webinars, videos and podcasts. His vision and mission are to help people to ‘Unhook from Their Past and Win Life Like a Warrior’.

Warrior in this case doesn’t mean everyone to fight in the battlefield. What he implies that people must fight demons within themselves, demons of Self-Limiting Beliefs, Self-Sabotaging Traits, Fear of Failures, Negative Thoughts, Ignorance etc. To simplify the process and speed up achievement of best results in time bound manner, he has designed a 7-Step Frame Work namely WOW (Wheel of Warrior). He is running his podcast ‘Win Life Like a Warrior’ wherein he has interviewed inspiring achievers from all walks of life thereby helping his audience to find their version 2.0.
