HI! I’M MAHESH🙂 

In my hopeful musings, i entertain the notion of a life divided neatly into three distinct phases, though reality paints a more accidental picture. A quarter century devoted to learning, another 25 to earning, and the remaining stretch reserved exclusively for passion pursuits. I was slightly ahead of this trajectory and quit my corporate world on my 48th birthday. This website is a tribute to my passion for relishing life’s more exquisite elements as I perceive them.
 
Each phase ingrained lasting lessons for me. During the first phase, Mr. Ram Kalia, a stern ex-military principal of DAV Higher Secondary School, taught discipline and how to respect time. Later on during my time in college at BITS Pilani, taught me the value of friendship and to explore the unknown.

During the second phase, TCS emphasized basics and pragmatic thinking for industry excellence and Cognizant encouraged unrestricted, distinctive thinking, even within mundane tasks, for personal differentiation.

Currently, I find myself in the third phase of pursuing my passions. One of my aspirations involves immersing myself in an industry about which I have limited knowledge, aiming to innovate and create something unique. With a deep appreciation for diverse musical genres, and residing in Chennai, a hub for South Indian Carnatic classical music, I initiated MadRasana. This platform focuses on producing Indian classical music in an intimate setting, fostering a stronger connection between the audience and the art form while expanding its reach to new enthusiasts.

My thirst for acquiring new skills is insatiable. Whether delving into the realm of fitness, exploring cutting-edge audiovisual technology, unraveling the intricacies of photography, or experimenting with the latest tools in generative AI, I am always eager to learn.

My professional endeavors have taken me across the globe, yet my interactions have often been limited to conference rooms. This realization has ignited a profound desire to explore new horizons and cultures. Thus, my passion for travel has emerged – traversing India to savor the distinct cultures within each state, and venturing beyond borders to encounter diverse landscapes. This passion has given birth to ‘Project Miro,’ a venture where I capture my journeys within India and abroad, delving into various cultures, nature, and humanity. In Latin, “Miro” translates to “to marvel,” encapsulating the essence of this endeavor.
