I am currently in the second phase of my life, which I consider a rebirth. I’ve been living in South Mumbai since the beginning. I’m a right leg knee amputee, and my movement has been very limited since October 2015 due to a serious accident that required two plates in my left leg and one above my left eye. I now work from home as a freelancer and a Data Mining Consultant on a project basis.

During the initial phase of my career, I was extremely busy, often working 12-14 hours a day. I’ve been in the Information Technology field since 1980. My work has taken me to numerous cities across India for various projects with private companies, multinational corporations, and e-governance initiatives. Additionally, I traveled to Dubai in the late ’80s for work.

I’ve been swimming every day at 5:30 am since my school days, regardless of the season. My work attendance was impeccable, maintaining a perfect record every year. During this period, I never experienced any health issues.

I successfully implemented all projects whether small value, Semi-government, MNC, or statewide projects with the help of my team although I was head of the pre-sales team.

I use to play cricket, chess, various open ground games, and card games like Bridge regularly since my school days. I was always very active and took part in sports regularly. I always had the first rank in studies. I read books by Ayn Rand and Fountainhead is one of my favorite book which I have read many times.

I lead a diverse team of over 100 members, including Software Developers, Testers, Marketing Executives, Engineers, and field teams. Together, we work on various software and e-governance projects, managing registrations and ensuring successful project execution.

I met with a severe accident on 1st October 2015 at 5.30 am while crossing near Aquarium (Charni Road) when going for a regular morning walk. The accident was very severe and I was unconscious on the spot. I was in ICU for 86 days and in coma for 50 days.

I was lucky that some people whom I used to see regularly while walking called an ambulance and took me to the hospital immediately and informed my brother as well.

I was admitted to Saifee Hospital after my family members persistently persuaded the doctors. My condition was extremely serious, and the doctors initially believed my chances of survival were almost zero. They were hesitant to admit me due to the severity of my case.

While I was in the ICU, five specialists worked tirelessly day and night to save my life. Their dedication and expertise were crucial in my recovery.
