He served in the Indian Air Force for 25 years before embarking on a mission to inspire the people of the country through his social initiative called “Honourpoint”. He comes from a military family wherein his father, wife and brother-in-law too served in the Armed Forces. An alumnus of MS University Baroda, he has done his post graduation in Defence Studies from University of Madras and the Executive Management Program from IIM Ahmedabad.
After his stint in the Air Force, he thought of creating a credible repository of information about all the martyrs of the Armed Forces since 1947 and thus Honourpoint (https://www.honourpoint.in/) came into being. He feels that India as a nation owes a debt of gratitude to the martyrs and their families and Honourpoint is a tribute to them, who deserve their rightful place in our nation’s history.
He has featured in “Urban Legend” series in Deccan Chronicle as well as in Outlook, The Week The Hindu Hindustan Times and many other leading newspapers. A prolific speaker, he has been invited as a speaker in various forums and conferences. He was awarded as one of the unsung heroes of the country for this initiative, in the National Youth Conference, inaugurated by the former President Mr Pranab Mukherjee in Baroda in Jan 2018.
