Twenty Years: A professional milestone

9th August: On this date twenty years ago, as a fresh graduate, I embarked on my journey in the IT world at Infosys. After completing my training, I joined the REU (Resources, Energy, and Utilities) business unit. At the time, I had no idea that "Utilities" would bring me back to my roots.

I grew up in a small town surrounded by power plants—hydro-electric, naphtha-based gas peaker, and coal-based thermal—all within an 8-10 km radius. When I left that town over 25 years ago, I thought I was leaving the world of power plants and electricity behind. Fate, it seems, had a different trajectory in mind.

My career, marked by stints in India, the US, and the UK with Infosys, Cognizant, and now Nagarro, has been a consistent journey through the energy and utilities sector. As I embark on my 21st year, I'm excited to be part of this industry's evolution, returning full circle to where it all started.
