A son of Bombay with a foot in Dubai and an eye on the chain. Builder by name, believer by trade, collector of the well-made.
My father chose the middle name. I have spent the better part of a decade trying to live up to it.
I was raised between marble lobbies and monsoon afternoons in South Bombay — a city that taught me, before anyone else did, that taste is patience. I work in real estate because it sits at the intersection of every interest I have ever held: architecture, money, families, and the long view. I split my time between Earnest House on Nariman Point and a quiet desk in Business Bay, Dubai. Beyond the day, I am a private student of the chain — Bitcoin since 2017, Ethereum since the merge — and a slow collector of the things that age well: leather-bound books, mechanical watches, a small Lagavulin, and conversation.
I do not chase. I attend.
I learned the discipline of the cycle — the good years and the lean ones — before I learned anything else.
Beside Emirates Bank I saw how capital truly moves — and unlearned almost everything I’d assumed about wealth.
The Burj climbing, the Palm redrawing the coast. I read the fundamentals, not the spectacle.
With my brother-in-law Mahesh, a boutique advisory for Indian families entering Dubai — both rulebooks understood.
Twenty years, three downturns, my own money through every cycle. An advisor, never just a broker.
Not a portfolio of services. Just the things I think about, read about, and quietly study.
The asset class I think in. From colonial Bombay to glass-and-gold Dubai — I read floorplans like other people read poetry.
Dubai isn't escape — it's expansion. A city built for those of us who believe the next century is being written east of the Suez.
Bitcoin since 2017, Ethereum after the merge, and a lot of reading in between. The chain rewards conviction the way real estate rewards patience — slowly, then all at once.
My father chose the middle name. I have spent the better part of a decade trying to live up to it.
For the curious, the friendly, the well-read. Not for solicitation.
