Came to IIMA after a meritorious academic record at IIT Delhi and a short but eventful brilliant stint in L and T. Specialised in Planning and Marketing areas at ||MA. A hard core man with a tremendous capacity for systematic and relentless effort guaranteeing high quality output. Professors came to rely on him as a trouble-shooter. Brilliant performance in PGP (got an I Schol). He combined his magnificent obsession for work with charming good manners and a helpful nature which won for him a large circle of friends as also "Poppy", his life partner.
