Quick Introduction
My path wasn't typical - started as an engineer, got an MBA, then spent years working across industries from infrastructure to clean tech. I've worked at MNCs, helped build startups, and now run my own business. These days, I'm figuring out how to grow a security and staffing company while sharing what I learn along the way.
The Longer Story
My journey started conventionally enough. I completed my engineering at NIT Hamirpur and then went on to get my MBA from the Indian School of Business. But here's the thing - my real education came from what happened next.
I've worked across different industries (infrastructure, telecom, transportation, clean-tech) and different company sizes (MNCs, startups, family businesses). Each transition taught me something new about how businesses actually work, not just how they're supposed to work.
In 2019, after my father's unexpected passing, I took over his security and staffing company full-time. Running Knighthood has been one of those experiences that tests everything you think you know about business. It's messy, challenging, and completely different from what you read in business books.
Why This Exists
Lately, I have been feeling overwhelmed with a never ending to Watch List, so this is a means for me to understand more content faster. I find reading to be a better way to grasp something that viewing a Video. This Blog also serves as a documentation of the video, allowing me review it at my convenience.

What You'll Find Here
Running your own business is a continuous learning experience. I want to curate a list of videos that I hope to add value to me and others along the way
Most importantly, this is a work in progress. I'm still figuring things out, and I expect this blog will evolve as I learn more.
Outside of work, I enjoy traveling, photography, reading, and music. I also experiment with various technology products to improve how I work and live.
This blog covers whatever topics catch my interest and seem relevant to running a business.
