Tell us about the work you currently do.

In my role, I focus on workplace research—tracking global trends, studying space utilization behaviors, and consulting with design partners to understand end-user needs. My goal is to provide the right solutions that ultimately elevate employee experience.

 

What’s the best part of being associated with the CoreNet Global India Chapter?

CoreNet is a unique platform that brings together all stakeholders of the CRE ecosystem. It allows me to learn from industry veterans, young leaders, and disruptors alike. For me, the real value lies in having deeper conversations and exchanging insights about end-user needs.

 

What excites you about working in the CRE profession?

The diversity of perspectives. Every professional approaches workplace challenges differently, and there’s so much to learn from these varied experiences. In CRE, “one size fits all” doesn’t apply—each solution must be tailored, and that constant learning keeps me excited.

 

How do you unwind at the end of the day?

Spending quality time with my family is my favorite way to relax—whether it’s dinner with my wife or playing with my 5-year-old son. I also pursue hobbies like diecast toy collecting, reading about cars, and even creating lighting products from natural waste materials.
