Rakesh’s first ambition was to be a painter – but he ended up with an engineering degree during which he wrote half a dozen papers in calculus around the theory of uncertainty and fuzzy logic. The world of business always fascinated him. He got a Master’s in Business, worked for 8 years, and then headed out on his own. He discovered poetry in Hindi, Urdu (Hindustani), and English.

Like it happens when learning cycling, sometimes you one day just learn the balance – and Rakesh started writing. He plans to publish his poetry as a book.
