Hi, I’m Manoj. Growing up in India and moving to the U.S. for higher studies, my journey has been a blend of diverse experiences and learning moments.

I’m someone who loves being outdoors, whether it’s camping, hiking, or backpacking. Exploring nature is a big part of my life. I also enjoy traveling and have had the chance to visit about 20 countries. I love learning about their history, culture, food, and people—it’s a way to connect with the world and broaden my perspective.

In my free time, I enjoy reading, working on DIY projects, watching college football, and movies. I’m fascinated by observing people and their unique quirks, and I enjoy writing as a way to reflect and share ideas. I’m also a single dad to an amazing 8-year-old boy, and spending time with him is one of the best parts of my life.

Professionally, I work in product management in the field of analytics, with a focus on building 0-to-1 products. About a decade ago, I developed an interest in religion and philosophy. I grew up Hindu but have also explored Buddhism, Sikhism, and Eastern philosophy. I’ve read authors like Alfred Adler, Viktor Frankl, and Albert Camus, whose ideas have shaped my thinking.

I value social connections and enjoy spending time with a close group of friends. This website is my space to share thoughts on topics that matter to me and explore ideas that inspire growth and connection. Through my podcast, Choose Bold, I hope to bring you conversations with people who’ve achieved success in different facets of life, offering stories that motivate and resonate.
