1. About you: Tell us about the place, where you were born; your education, and profession.
I was born in Mithapur - a small township of Tata Chemicals Limited in Gujarat where I completed my schooling. I did my B.E. in Computer Engineering from Dharmsinh Deasi University, Nadiad, Gujarat following which I've worked as a techie with TCS, Infosys and IBM for almost 9.5 years.
