Gaurav is an avid golfer and a table tennis enthusiast who spends most of his weekend chasing his 7 year old daughter from one play date to another.

I have enjoyed my journey making a difference in the organizations that I worked at be it a powerful federation like the CII to a dominant media house – The Times group or a financial powerhouse J.P. Morgan to the immensely respected CNBC TV18 and later to the bigger Network 18 to Nodwin Gaming and now to NPCI. Thriving in a creative and challenging environment, where controlled thinking is not as much the norm as a ground-breaking thought process.
