I was born on the serene banks of the Holy River Godavari in Rajahmundry, where the whispers of nature’s sanctity shaped my early years. Transitioning to the vibrant ambiance along the banks of River Krishna in Vijayawada marked a pivotal chapter in my upbringing. Upon reaching 10th grade, destiny beckoned me to the port city of Kakinada, an environment that would become the crucible of my formative years. It was there, amidst the coastal allure, that I embarked on my educational journey, culminating in graduation from the esteemed PR Govt. College. In 1992, I set sail into the maritime industry, anchoring my career in the dynamic port city of Kakinada. The quest for professional growth led me to the bustling city of Chennai in 1997, where I navigated new horizons for a more prosperous trajectory. Harnessing my passion for maritime education, I ventured to establish educational institutions both in the maritime hub of Kakinada and the bustling metropolis of Chennai. This endeavor not only honed my leadership skills but also contributed to shaping the next generation of seafarers. In the tapestry of life, 1999 marked the joyous union with my life partner, Usha. Together, we have been blessed with the gift of parenthood, nurturing two wonderful children who bring boundless joy to our lives. Over the course of the past 31 years, my journey in the maritime realm has been a saga of dedication and accomplishment. Having played a role in crafting the skills of approximately 5000 seatechs, I take pride in contributing to the prowess of the merchant marine fleet. As the currents of time continue to shape my narrative, I remain steadfast in my commitment to maritime excellence, embracing each wave of opportunity with unwavering determination.
