From Mumbai to Transforming Education Across India
A Journey of Passion, Innovation, and Purpose
Chapter 1: Mumbai Roots and the Tech Dream
-
Born into a humble, lower-middle-class family in Mumbai, I was a rebel at heart and a bit of a troublemaker.
-
Determined to self-finance my engineering degree from Mumbai University—not due to any melodrama but simply because I wanted to—I embraced the challenges head-on.
-
Balancing exams with part-time jobs wasn’t easy, and to be honest, I initially hated coding. But the dream of breaking into tech kept me going.
​
Chapter 2: The Corporate Ride and the Call for Change
-
Starting my corporate career in tech, something always felt missing, even as I gradually fell in love with coding.
-
I pursued an MTech from Anna University and later earned a Doctorate in Entrepreneurship from the US.
-
Leaving behind a stable, well-paying job, I took a leap into teaching—a decision that wasn’t easy but deeply fulfilling.
​
Chapter 3: From Teaching to Entrepreneurship
-
Moving to Kerala in 2014 was a leap of faith, but it instantly felt like home.
-
Teaching at an engineering college opened my eyes to the challenges plaguing India’s education system.
-
By 2018, I had founded my first venture with a mission to transform education.
-
Platforms like proCampuz, Edmojo, and QuickFee weren’t just products—they touched the lives of over 300,000 educators and students.
​
Chapter 4: From Innovation to Acquisition
-
Together, these platforms processed over ₹5 billion in fee transactions.
-
Their acquisition by Leo1 was a validation of the vision I had nurtured.
-
In 2023, I launched Four32 AI Labs, an AI-driven platform designed to predict rankings and accreditation for higher education.
-
By 2024, Four32 AI Labs too was acquired by a multinational company, marking yet another milestone.
​
Chapter 5: Impact on Education
-
Consulting with 300+ universities, I’ve transformed curricula and helped institutions achieve top rankings.
-
Publishing my first book on Outcome-Based Education (OBE) created a direct impact on 1,000+ institutions and 30,000 educators.
-
While the path wasn’t always clear, my unwavering vision for education kept me moving forward.
​
Chapter 6: What’s Next
-
My current venture focuses on mapping students’ strengths, psychometric profiles, and interests to guide them toward fulfilling career paths.

From national admissions to study-abroad counselling, from adolescent guidance to psychological support—this platform aims to redefine career planning.
