I didn't set out to be a coach. I set out to understand why I felt stuck.

For over two decades, I worked as a civil engineer — starting as a draftsman, working my way up into management. Along the way, I worked alongside people from every kind of background: Indian, African, Omani, Portuguese, Chinese. Different languages, different cultures, different ways of thinking.

What I learned wasn't really about engineering. It was about people — how we get stuck, what holds us back, and how differently we each carry the same struggles underneath.

That curiosity led me deeper — into an NLP diploma, studies in psychology, and certifications in life coaching and mentoring. For the past three years, I've also served as a co-mentor within our Telugu community, alongside Sravan Varanasi.

I believe every problem has a solution — once a person begins to rewire the energy within them.

"To make every human being a great thinker and re-thinker about their own inner subconscious energy — to find their own strength, and live the rest of their life by it."
