Manual effort climbs in a straight line; automated effort stays nearly flat as volume grows. And the gap between those two lines is exactly where the pressure is building for every manufacturer.

to a NASDAQ turnaround.
I grew up in Mumbai. When I finished my engineering degree, I borrowed $10,000, bought a one-way ticket to the United States, and enrolled at Clemson on the waitlist for a scholarship I didn't yet have. Two weeks after I landed, the scholarship came through.
Everything since has been built the same way — on hard work, clear goals, and a refusal to wait for permission. I started as a software engineer at Microsoft, got curious about the business behind the technology, and spent the next two decades moving from building products to building companies: an MBA at Chicago Booth, hypergrowth at Groupon, GM roles at Microsoft and Amazon, a NASDAQ turnaround at Kaspien, a 25x private-equity valuation at Beckett, and now an AI company at Certivo.
The throughline never changes: find the inflection point, set the vision, build the team, and create lasting value.
