"Corporate leader by profession, Yoga evangelist by purpose". While still serving as an AVP at Reliance Industries Ltd. (RIL), I had earned this sobriquet from friends and colleagues alike. Though I was responsible for driving the procurement function at the world’s largest refinery, I longed to transition out of corporate life to pursue the Yoga mission full time. I have finally taken the plunge since April 2016, successfully pursuing and achieving the Yoga professional certification from the Yoga Institute, Mumbai, which happens to be the World’s oldest organized yoga centre requiring a rigorous and authentic physical and mental program to confer the certification. Coming from a typical middle class family in the central suburbs from Mumbai, I have faced the burden of family expectations right from childhood on multiple counts- be it succeeding at my education, earning a decent living or taking care of other family members. Somewhere along my journey as a youngster , I discovered and found solace in the age old practice of Yoga and have been practicing it since my days as a B.Tech (and M.Tech) student at UDCT, one of the world's top chemical engineering institutes (Unlike the new found fad among today's corporates, youth and influencers alike). It is often said that the power of habits die hard and I have been allocating a significant portion of my daily schedule to the practice of Yoga over the last 40 years, and cannot honestly imagine a life without it. I would willingly attribute both my academic and professional success to my physical fitness and mental strength, only made possible by this rigorous and dedicated practice of Yoga. Additionally, it has given me the much needed personal equanimity, poise and stability to successfully deal with various fluctuations through my personal life and professional career under increasingly competitive and stressful demands that I have faced over my life. I realize that though every person around us has the potential, ambition and skills to make a more positive impact on the world, be it professionally or personally, (s)he is somehow held back due to issues related to physical fitness and mental strength. I have made it my vision and mission to dedicate all my skills, time and effort to play a constructive part in removing the roadblocks to the success of all people around me- be it a professional, businessman, homemaker, or the elderly. It is high time we Indians rediscover the magic of our very own practice of Yoga and restore its lost glory by practicing, perfecting and propagating it for a happy, successful, wholesome and self-actualized existence for ourselves and our loved ones. The curated, customized and comprehensive Yoga courses designed personally by me cover the most relevant needs of living a life with full coordination of body, mind and soul.
