Ask me anything

Champion for new-comers to New Zealand, I am a Founder of the New Zealand Centre for Digital Connections with India - link 3 above.

Mentoring is a key pillar of strategy, the others being addressing the root causes that requires the work to be done.

This builds on account of a piece I co-authored: The Story (Contribution) of Indian IT Professionals to New Zealand - link 4 above.

With the study, and my personal journey, I know first hand of challenges faced by new-comers, and what makes for success. 

The "modules" listed here are reflective of sessions I ran for the Indian High Commission and IT Professionals in Wellington. 

Think of this initially as your personal Launch Pad.

I am confident I can help you succeed, and if I cannot, connect you with someone who can.
