I was born in India, and spent my formative years in Bombay while growing up in a family associated with the Hindi film industry. I spent much of my childhood and adolescence immersed in movies, music, books and comics, and these were some of the happiest years of my life.
I did my undergraduate studies at IIT-Bombay before coming to the United States for graduate school. After completing my graduate studies at Penn State and MIT, I moved to Silicon Valley to work in the field of semiconductors. I loved it so much that I am still doing it after nearly four decades! And I still live in the Bay Area with my family, including three amazing children.
Besides my hobbies represented by this website, I am also a co-founder of They See Blue, a grassroots activism group which successfully mobilized South Asians to increase voter turnout within the community and made a difference in every U.S. election from 2018 onwards.
I hope you enjoy visiting this website as much as I enjoyed creating it!
