I’m a big believer that we don’t have to be someone special to do something great, we can all achieve a little more than ordinary by taking one step at a time. It is all about how we manage our lives, and these are all learned skills.

I’m very fortunate to have a colorful life 🙂 I have traveled to ~30 countries and read >170 books since I started working few years back. Being a big fitness freak who puts overall wellness as first priority, active lifestyle is my way of living – ran >2500km in 5 years, a Taekwondo black-belt, a table tennis player and an ACE certified personal trainer.

I had been curious about entrepreneurship and startups especially when we see a lot of very inspiring stories from all around the world. Began with just a thought, I started Mirastars project to learn about entrepreneurship by interviewing entrepreneurs from different countries.

Career wise, I was a Service Delivery Manager with Credit Suisse for 5.5 years after graduating from National University of Singapore (School of Computing). At age of 28, I was one of the youngest project managers to obtain Project Management Professional (PMP) certificate. Currently besides running Mirastars, I’m also a Program Manager with SGInnovate, a venture capitalist that focuses on deep tech areas.

During leisure time, I study about investment, listen to music, blog about personal stories and play guitar occasionally.
