Embarking on my Karate journey with JKA Bahrain in the Middle East, I dedicated over 15 years to honing my skills and eventually assumed the role of an instructor for more than 8 years. Upon relocating to India in 2020, I have eagerly recommenced my affiliation with JKA India.
As a proud father of two daughters and a seasoned professional in the banking sector, my career spans nearly two decades, featuring roles at esteemed companies such as GE, SBI Cards, and American Express.

My venture into the realm of Karate commenced at the age of 32, fueled by a desire to fulfill a childhood dream. This pursuit of fitness transformed into a profound passion, motivating me to share the essence of Karate do (the Way of Karate) with the wider community.

I look forward to continuing this exciting journey and making a positive impact on those around me.

Motto: Strong character development along with personality development and women empowerment.
