It may sound a little unusual when I introduce myself as an ex-Colonel of the Indian Army and a past Director of Orissa Electricity Regulatory Commission (the first of its kind in India) - now freelancing as a content writer. In addition, I indulge in a bit of screenwriting too whenever a good story idea hits my mind.
As regards my qualifications, I have a master’s degree in Business Administration (MBA) as well as a bachelor’s in Mechanical Engineering.
I have written quite a few articles on a variety of subjects during the last eight years that I have been freelancing. Now that I am writing for Suite 101, I love the way things happen here - orderly and uncomplicated, without any trace of pressure.
