Success to me is: to have a larger than life purpose. Impact a billion lives. Make a tremendous difference.

THE BEST ADVICE I EVER GOT: “Always begin any new venture with a deeply meaningful purpose which is far beyond economic value.”

One achievement I am most proud of: Creating a new-age multinational company which uses technology and business model innovation to solve complex problems of the energy industry.

How I like to unwind: Fly planes, chat with complete strangers and watch TED videos.
