I started out of college as a computer engineer, had a successful career in technology and product management and have come a long way from there. Today I work in the field of canine behaviour, providing holistic canine care with a firm grounding in science and research. I love the idea that this job gracefully brings together my love for dogs and my love for science. But more importantly, it's very personal. I started working with dogs when my precious little puppy met with a horrific accident that took away half her face and required a year of surgeries. At that time, I knew enough about dogs to know that she would have some kind of a post trauma disorder and I started my desperate search for someone who could help her. At that time, I did not realized that the person who eventually managed to help me was none other than Turid Rugaas, the world leader in canine behaviour. Meanwhile I had started a facebook group called Bombat Dawgz meant for pet parents as crazy as me. The group was growing rapidly and I was able to help members with the knowledge I had gained from Turid. It soon became evident to me that I had to learn this formally. Once I did, the career just happened. I guess, you could say that the career found me. Since there, there has been no looking back and I now know what I want to be doing for the rest of my life - work with dogs.
ABOUT
MY JOURNEY BEFORE DOGS
YAHOO!
I started working at Yahoo as a software engineer and moved on to being a product manager. I worked with Yahoo for 7 years and then the 7 year itch made itself felt.
My engagement with Parikrma Humanitarian Foundation started when I was working with Yahoo and led their CSR initiative to have a school built for Parikrma to educate underserved children. I later joined Parikrma as a technology head to help them leverage technology in the best ways possible to achieve their goals.
PARIKRMA
I spent two years as the VP for Products at Stormglass, a silicon valley funded start up aimed at building a "spy experience" for kids through books, ipad and browser games.
