Having done schooling from Mhow and Bhopal in Madhya Pradesh, I did his graduation in Electronics Engineering from Institute of Technology, Banaras Hindu University. I run a micro enterprise 'Vikalp Printers' (a small, high-end printing and publishing firm) at Dehradun. 

 

For the last 20 years I have been following a daily, highly regimented, work schedule of 9.30 to 1.00 and then from 2.30 to 5.00. My office is just 7-8 minutes drive from residence and that provides me an opportunity to have a siesta at noon. Growth has not been a pious word at Vikalp Printers and as such it could take a decision long years ago not to do any government work. Dehradun and Mussoorie are blessed with some fine schools which constitute Vikalp's customers.

 

A couple of years ago I wrote a slim book "From IIM-Ahmedabad to Happiness", targeted at those who have achieved success in life. I shall be glad to present a copy of the book to all my classmates who show an inclination by sending me their postal address.

 

And Ankur, on your next visit to Mussoorie you just can't bypass Dehradun.

 

As an independent researcher, I have authored several books, and translated into English a number of profound Jaina Scripture.
