01 · Origin & The Classrooms
Most finance stories start in an Ivy League dorm. This one starts in holy cities and engineering hostels, far from the Street.
Cairo & The Pyramids
Under the shadow of the Sphinx. The first imprint of a world much older and larger than a balance sheet. A curiosity born in ancient dust.
Jhansi, Nasik, Agra, Kannur
Childhood stretched across holy cities and crowded trains. Temples, holy rivers, incense, and chaos. Learning to read the noise before learning to read the markets.
Engineering
Boys Hostel in Allahabad, India. Not a "rock club," but a room full of cassette tapes, magazines of all sorts, and an obsession with cinema, quizzing and messing with all sorts of ideas and inspirations. First love, romance, bad decisions, and arguments about the future.
