● ICF PCC certified coach with 700+ hours helping more than 100 tech professionals and leaders master their communication skills

● Golden Wrenchead high performing engineer award in 2015.

But it didn’t start that way. Growing up in South India, I was called ‘natti pakodi’ (meaning ‘a stutterer’), ‘torri pallodu’ (meaning an ‘ugly beaver’) and ‘gajji moham’ (meaning ‘scar faced’). As a result, I had a lot of social anxiety, no confidence, and no friends.

I thought that going to America, getting a good education, and becoming materially successful would solve my confidence problems. So, I came to America, got a master’s degree, and became successful—at least in the eyes of others. I made good money and had a great job. Life looked good on the outside, but inside I was still lonely, extremely anxious, and quickly becoming exhausted. I couldn’t move ahead in my career nor did I have any friends to talk to. Essentially, no promotion and no girlfriend.

Luckily, my wife found me. Things changed when I met her, and she said, “You’re cute, kinda like a movie star.” After that, I made more friends. Another told me, “You’re pretty charismatic.” The words were surprising: they challenged the long-held beliefs I had about myself.

So, I got curious. I went on a journey of self-discovery. I invested thousands in personal development programs to learn from the best coaches and trainers. I pushed back against my insecurities to compete in international speech competitions—and found that I won awards when I did. I coached over 100 professionals, some of them C-suite execs, helping them conquer their fears and fine-tune their communication strategies. I delivered talks all across the world. I got so comfortable in my own skin that I am now unafraid to upload ‘naatu naatu’ dance videos on LinkedIn.

I am 100% authentically me, and I want to help you be 100% authentically you so that you can ask and get what you want with no apologies.
