Some careers follow a predictable path. Some are planned meticulously, guided by timelines, milestones, and expectations. And then there are journeys like his unpredictable, layered, and beautifully unrestrained. His path is not defined by a designation or an industry. It is defined by evolution, instinct, curiosity, and an unwavering refusal to fit into any one box.
His story begins with a simple truth: a young engineer who was deeply fascinated by aircrafts. Not just the machines, but the emotion they carried possibility, movement, and the comforting reminder that life above the clouds feels bigger. This fascination took him from the classrooms of Roorkee to high-precision engineering labs in France, and eventually to radar towers and airfields across Spain and India.
From the outside, his journey seemed glamorous international exposure, cutting-edge projects, and complex systems. But beneath the surface lay a quieter, more powerful truth: he was beginning to understand that he would never belong to just one world. He was not destined for a straight, singular road. He was meant to build a path that could hold all the different parts of him.
Very early in his career, he realised the world prefers labels. It wants people to choose engineer or strategist, technical or creative, aviation or business development. But he was never comfortable choosing one at the cost of the others. So he did something rare. He embraced all of them.
His journey slowly unfolded across unexpected intersections aviation engineering, defence technologies, experiential marketing, olfactory science, risk consulting, sensory storytelling, and international liaising. He could spend a sunrise inside a radar room solving problems that impacted human lives, and by sunset be designing an olfactory brand experience capable of stirring emotion and memory.
This wasn’t confusion. It wasn’t indecision.
It was evolution.
It was the discovery that multidimensionality is not a limitation, it is a superpower.
Looking back, he realises he never planned this path. He simply followed what felt meaningful at each stage. And that instinct has given him a life richer, more diverse, and more fulfilling than anything he could have designed logically.
His journey is filled with small yet defining moments. The first time he stood inside an air traffic control tower, he felt a stillness he still remembers vividly. The quiet intensity of the space, the responsibility carried in every radar sweep, the sacredness of precision, it moved him deeply. Years later, when he worked on sensory storytelling, he experienced another defining moment. While blending fragrance, narrative, and emotion for a brand, he realised that technology and human emotion were not separate worlds. They could coexist beautifully. They could elevate each other. They could create magic.
His mission has always been personal. More emotional than technical. He has always wanted to build things that make people feel safe, understood, or connected whether it is an air traffic system that protects lives, a defence platform that brings real security, or an olfactory experience capable of sparking a forgotten memory. For him, impact is always emotional before it is operational.
But this multidimensional journey came with challenges. Working across countries at a young age meant learning how to belong. Navigating new cultures, new languages, and new expectations was not easy. Switching industries was even harder. Every time he transitioned from aviation to defence, from strategy to sensory sciences, he had to start again. New domains. New rules. New identities. There were days when his unconventional path felt more like a burden than a gift. Days when he wondered if he should have just stayed on the predictable road.
But he kept going.
Resilience, instinct, and a quiet belief in reinvention carried him through. He learned that beginning again is not a setback, it is a form of courage. Deploying radar systems matters. Designing aviation and defence solutions matters. Creating sensory platforms matters. But the achievement he holds closest to his heart is none of these.
- It is the fact that he never stopped evolving.
- That he chose reinvention instead of comfort.
- That he changed without losing himself.
He often reminds himself that everything passes the doubt, the exhaustion, the difficult days. What stays is the person you become because of them. His motivation has never been loud or dramatic. It is the simple, quiet decision to show up again. And again. And again.
People who work with him describe him in similar ways. He brings heart into high-pressure environments. He stays calm even in chaos. He sees connections others don’t between ideas, industries, and people. Above everything, he genuinely cares. His superpower is empathy. He doesn’t just build systems; he builds trust.
He credits much of this to mentors across continents especially his former boss at ALG, Mr. Raimon Albiol who taught him that leadership is not loud. Leadership is listening. Leadership is presence. Leadership is kindness. And kindness, he learned, solves problems faster than ego ever will.
His daily life is a mosaic of contrasting worlds defence discussions in the morning, aviation technology meetings in the afternoon, brand strategy conversations by evening, followed by nights spent troubleshooting or learning something new. His balance doesn’t come from structure; it comes from alignment. When your work feels meaningful, the rhythm becomes natural.
Looking forward, his vision is clear. He wants to keep building not just products, but ideas, teams, and experiences. He wants to merge engineering with emotion, logic with intuition, and technology with humanity. He wants to contribute to India’s technological and emotional landscape in a way that feels authentic, intentional, and deeply meaningful.
On a personal level, he no longer chases noise. He seeks a life that is steady, grounded, and filled with gratitude. Success, he believes, has changed meaning. Earlier, it meant achievements. Today, it means alignment being able to look at his work and say, “This feels right.”
- His message to others is simple but powerful:
- Don’t fear being different.
- Your uniqueness is your advantage.
- Reinvent yourself boldly.
- You don’t owe the world a linear story.
- Be curious. Ask unusual questions. Learn deeply. Live widely.
- Allow yourself to evolve especially when evolution feels uncomfortable.
- Growth rarely feels easy, but it is always worth it.
As he reflects on being featured in this cover story, he feels an unexpected sense of quiet emotion. A sense of being seen. A sense of gratitude. For someone whose journey has been nonlinear, unconventional, and often understated, this recognition is more than a feature. It is a reminder that even silent paths matter. Even unconventional journeys deserve space and voice.
It is a moment to pause, breathe, and honour every step every leap, every fall, every reinvention that brought him here.
