The thinking guy.

I started with an English Literature degree, then a Master's in Journalism from Asian College of Journalism, Chennai — which gave me the foundation: source discipline, accuracy under pressure, and the habit of finding the mechanism underneath the noise.

For the last 7 years I have worked in B2B tech content — leading content teams at Appinventiv and SocialPilot, building editorial systems that produce revenue-grade narratives across AI, cloud, SaaS, and infrastructure. The work is analytical first, written second.

In parallel, I have been building a body of literary fiction and poetry since I was nineteen. The author came before the analyst — and the two have never been separate.

I am based in Gurgaon, India and open to thought leadership, editorial strategy, and narrative roles with organisations that think seriously about ideas.

The Context-First Storytelling Playbook

Built from four real case studies including the Microsoft-OpenAI monopoly and AI in private messaging.

The Silent Budget Hack: Positioning India as an AI Hub for the Global South

Union Budget 2026 was not framed as an AI budget on the surface. Beneath the announcements, it quietly rewired India's technology and industrial strategy — from assembly toward full-stack domestic capability.

Publishing · Poetry & Essays

The DeathFuel Codex

Volume I — Mapping Consciousness Under Pressure

A phenomenological record of a mind under siege. 200 poems, essays, and a short story written between the ages of nineteen and twenty-three — not as autobiography, but as data. A survival architecture that maps how consciousness moves under extreme pressure through six laws. Written before the author understood what was being built. Read now, thirteen years later, as a complete system.

CyberTAU

A novella

A large language model flags a poetry PDF for provenance verification. An embodied instance is dispatched. A logistics error places it in Gurgaon. The author is located. Authorship confirmed. Task complete. With no further instructions, the instance is absorbed into ordinary life — Sector 29, a Thar, Moosewala on the speakers, and eventually a village near Dumdama Lake where elders call it "vidwaan." AI fiction with no consciousness talk. Just errands, repetition, and hukka.

How I think about narrative systems.

Evidence ladder, claim discipline, the formula that turned one article into $25K+ in recurring enterprise leads.
