TISS Mumbai HRM&LR

The Day a Dream was Written in Tears.
I began my life in the humble background of a Mumbai slum, but my true journey didn't start there. It began with a sentence intended to end my story before it even started.
As I progressed through school, my vision began to fail due to a condition known as Retinitis Pigmentosa. The true moment of reckoning arrived when a specialist looked at my parents and declared, "Remove his name from the school. He can't do anything in life."
That devastating prognosis became my most powerful fuel. I cried, but in that moment, I made a silent, fierce promise: I would achieve something profound and prove that assessment wrong. I pivoted my approach, embracing technology, screen readers and digital literacy became my tools. I fought my way through my education, determined to reach the pinnacle of social scholarship.
Today, I stand here at the Tata Institute of Social Sciences, pursuing my MA in Human Resource Management and Labour Relations (HRM and LR), committed to shaping corporate systems that are fundamentally more inclusive and equitable.
If someone who was told to quit school and abandon all aspirations can study at TISS and work to reshape the corporate world, then everyone, regardless of the challenges they face, can achieve their dreams. My story is not one of exception, but one of unwavering resolve. Aspire, believe, and fight because the impossible is simply a challenge waiting for your determination.

TISS Mumbai HRM&LR

I was raised in a small industrial town, the beating heart of NTPC and Hindalco, where the soundscape was the relentless hum of turbines. I witnessed a study in extremes: the grand vision of management steering the massive plants, juxtaposed with the workers and trade unions fiercely fighting for their rightful share of dignity. This duality of power and parity defined my early understanding of systems.
My deepest ambition was to pursue the UPSC, a platform that promised the scalability of impact, a dream cemented by two years teaching with the Koshish Foundation. But despite pouring my heart into the preparation, the final results were silence, forcing me to face the brutal calculus of time and cost. That low moment was not a grand drama, but when I recalled a simple personal maxim: "Life is 10% what happens to you and 90% how you react to it." This single thought struck me with the force of a liberating truth.
In that instant, I resolved to seize the pen and rewrite my story. I chose to transition from abstract governance theory to the practical application of management. This was not a retreat, but a deliberate evolution. I saw that an MBA, particularly at TISS where Human Resource Management meets Labour Relations, would allow me to blend the empathy of my childhood industrial setting with the hard skills needed to mediate and create impact at scale.
Leaving the expensive, secure path of the UPSC was a formidable leap of faith, but that single decision to choose action has become my anchor. Whenever I face a daunting choice, I remind myself: if I had the courage to redefine failure and choose to rise, I owe it to myself to honor that commitment every single time.

My year as a merchant navy officer was a study in extremes. I witnessed the ethereal dance of the Northern Lights on a frigid New Year's Eve in Norway, and just months later, faced the stark terror of a piracy attack on my crew in the Red Sea.

However, the moment that truly charted a new course for my life wasn't one of these grand dramas, but a casual comment from a colleague. Reflecting on our long months away, he said with a wry smile, "The ship is your home now. Back on land, you're just a guest."

His words struck me with the force of a rogue wave. I was becoming a visitor in my own life, my decisions dictated by schedules set oceans away. In that moment, I resolved to reclaim authorship of my story. It was for choosing what I call home and to be a constant presence for the people I love.

Leaving a well-paid, reputable career was a formidable leap of faith, but that single decision has become my anchor.

Whenever I face a daunting choice, I remind myself : If I had the courage to leave an entire profession to prioritize my own values, I owe it to myself to honor that commitment every single time.
