Why did you choose LSE, and why did you choose your programme of study?
The School's global reputation. The reason to choose the programme was because I wanted to learn more about psychological factors affecting everyday work environments.
Overall, how do you look back on your LSE experience?
It was a fantastic experience. Intellectually stimulating.
Please describe your career path to date:
Post LSE, I joined as a Director in one of the world's bigger private K-12 education company, spearheading the creation of an in-house innovation unit.
Why did you choose your current job?
I've been an entrepreneur before and it was something I would always eventually return to.
Tell us about your current job:
I'm the founder and CEO of a media-tech startup called Storiyoh based out of Mumbai, India. Its exhilarating to create a unique product from the ground up and involves not just vision but also detailed execution. The main skill that is really required is understanding how the brain works so that one can optimise everyday.
What advice do you have for LSE students who are looking to enter a similar profession to you?
I would always advice students to try out entrepreneurship by starting up even very small businesses. This will given them a feel for business and will allow them to discover their strengths and weaknesses. This is absolutely important. You have to get out of your comfort zone to learn something valuable, and without learning - almost constantly - there is no progress.
