About
I’m an engineer who became a banker who became a marketer. Somewhere along the way I realised I’m most useful when I’m joining dots that other people treat as separate.
Right now I’m the Marketing Director at Aurangabad Pipes Pvt. Ltd. We’ve been making seamless steel tubes and pipes for over 25 years, hot-finished and cold-drawn, in carbon and alloy steel. My job is easy to say and hard to do: get more people in India and abroad to know us, trust us and buy from us.
My path here wasn’t a straight line. I started in engineering, then moved to ICICI Bank in Kolkata as a Family Office Specialist across 28 branches in the Alipore Zone, looking after the money of families who don’t hand out trust easily. On the side, I help EdgeX Academy grow, mostly by building campus partnerships.
I studied mechanical engineering at VIT Vellore, then marketing and finance at Goa Institute of Management.

Marketing Director
Aurangabad Pipes Pvt. Ltd.CurrentAurangabad, Maharashtra · On-siteI look after marketing and new business. We make seamless steel tubes and pipes, hot-finished and cold-drawn, in carbon and alloy steel. They end up in boilers, heat exchangers, process piping, cars and machines. The company has over 25 years of experience and is ISO 9001:2015, IBR and PED certified.
My job is to take that track record to people who haven’t heard of us yet, in India and overseas, and to make the brand look as good as the product already is. If you source tubes for an OEM, an EPC project or a plant, I’d be glad to talk.

Writing daily
Most days I post about oil, gold, IPOs, the RBI, banking, crypto, geopolitics and, now and then, sport. People ask why I don’t pick a lane. I don’t see separate lanes. I like tracing the chain and putting it in plain words.
