THE GREAT SHIFT

For over a decade, I was the architect of efficiency. I orchestrated, built, and oversaw analytical, automation, and data science models for giants like TCS, Unilever, and Deloitte. I knew how to make MNCs faster, smarter, and more profitable. By every metric, I was winning: I was securing timely promotions, traveling on sponsored business trips, and working in cutting-edge Data Science and Analytics.

It wasn’t that the work lacked purpose—it was just that the purpose was defined by someone else. My goal was simply to execute that external vision to maintain the "job," never pushing beyond the necessary boundaries. But as my goals and awareness evolved, I longed for a reality where my creativity and vision could shine. It was never about the money; it was about a deep need for a method to share my expression and perspectives on the world.

After starting one company and facing a failed attempt—gathering several learnings on how a startup actually works along the way—I spent 1.5 years working hard to make something stick. But I was never stabilizing. I eventually found myself at the brink of returning to the corporate world.

Then, the magic happened.

I had been following AI since my time at Unilever, prompting daily for two years ever since the launch of OpenAI's GPT-3. But the true breakthrough came when I saw that new video models were on the brink of becoming unmistakably real. I realized how cinematic we could get—I saw the potential.

My 13 years of photography experience suddenly clicked into place. I realized I could stitch together AI-generated 5-second videos to create music videos, trailers, and ads.

Just as the need for financial stability kicked in, the universe offered me two paths: this AI goldmine and a role at Deloitte with a promotion. I decided to take both. It didn't take long to see the winner. I quit Deloitte in three months, and since then, I have had the pleasure of creating videos for Deloitte itself, along with 24 other brands and creators.

Next Level Narratives is the result of that alignment. That is how I started my second company, and I am now at a place where I can proudly say I live in a reality where I have found the people who believe in it—shaping it with me, co-creating it with me, and truly enjoying the process. My vision has finally come to reality, and the core truth of that reality is this: I am the one responsible for creating the life I want. And believe it - the universe and everyone else in it are just a medium to make you realize it and help you bring it to life.

In July 2025, I moved to Bali with a 10-day plan—hoping to gain new perspectives and expand my brand internationally. That brief trip evolved into a four-month transformation, and Bali became home.

I immersed myself in communities rooted in conscious creation and genuine connection. Through speed masterclasses on sales, marketing, and the art of business, I accelerated my growth, converting over 20 leads into 5 international clients within just two months.

But the true shift was internal. I found my tribe—beautiful humans who supported my evolution. This journey wasn't just about business; it was a complete emotional, physical, and mindset realignment. I stepped into a version of myself that truly reflects my nature, defining my own identity and reality.
