Profile+ Summary


In the late 90s, I worked with a school for children in special needs, which used foreign tests, not aligned to the Indian context, to conduct assessments. I started to look for a global solution that ... would be applicable to students across the world, irrespective of which demography they were in.

During my PhD, I arrived at the answer-The 5 primordial elements or the Pancha Mahabhutas-the most elemental and globally applicable theory of understanding people, (as evidenced by the popularity and applicability of Ayurveda & Yoga).

And Swayam was born! A patent-pending algorithm-based software for psychometric assessment has been developed which we use to understand people and give them solutions that are aligned to their strengths and dreams.

Organization and ed-institutes are using swayam for critical hiring and student career - decisions.
Pride:
My frameworks that guarantee reliability in testing, have been adopted by institutions including Heider College of Bus, Creighton Univ, Kaivalyadham Yoga Insti, Amity Insti of Psych & Allied Sciences, UNIVERSITY DUISBURG-ESSEN, for their research involving human behaviour analysis.

Life:
I am passionate about the rich Indian Knowledge Systems, a lifelong student of Naturopathy, Ayurveda & Yoga. I read mythology & spirituality. Astronomy & sci-fi excite me and I am a Star Wars fan! After office, you will catch me walking, cooking, painting, & chatting with family.
