Consultations
I work with individuals one-to-one, and I speak to schools, colleges, and professional groups. The two are different in form, but the starting point is the same: a question worth thinking through carefully.
The work draws on over two decades in the technology industry — in engineering, architecture, and solutions consulting — and on formal study in physics, mathematics, philosophy, and Jyotisha. Where a question sits at the meeting point of these, it tends to become clearer rather than more complicated.
On why I choose to do this: a short note.
1:1 Consultations
This is a conversation about something of concern to you — a subject to study, a career, a relationship, a decision you are weighing.
Sometimes the question is more specific: a research direction, a paper, a subject you want to go deeper into. Where it sits within the areas I study and work in — mathematics, physics, computing, philosophy, and Jyotisha — we can take that up as well.
The conversations are not limited to what can be listed. Some things are better spoken about than written down. Those can be considered.
These conversations tend to suit people at a turning point or in a period of uncertainty, primarily in the 15–35 age group:
- Senior school students deciding between streams, fields, or futures — and the families thinking alongside them.
- Undergraduate and postgraduate students questioning whether their path still fits, wanting to make a considered choice rather than a defaulted one, or wanting to think through a research direction or a subject in depth.
- Young professionals and young adults weighing decisions about work and life.
The conversation is not advice handed down. The aim is to examine the question clearly — and then the decision is yours to make.
People sometimes come looking for academic or career counselling. That need is welcome here — and the conversation usually opens out into something broader.
On Jyotisha
Where someone wishes to include it, Jyotisha is used as an analytical tool — a structured frame for reading disposition, temperament, and inclination, in the way any model offers a way of understanding a person. I bring formal training to it (an MA in Jyotisha), and I treat it with the same rigour as any other framework I work with. The purpose is to understand and to prepare, not to forecast events.
The chart helps describe the shape of things. The map is not the territory; but without a map, one cannot navigate.
Using Jyotisha is entirely optional. Most conversations do not require it, and none depend on it.
What this is, and is not
This is consultation and considered thinking — drawn from study and from professional experience. It is not clinical or medical care, and it is not psychotherapy. If what you are facing is a matter of mental health, the right step is a qualified mental-health professional, and I will say so plainly if that is what a conversation suggests.
Format and practicalities
- Based in: Gurugram (Gurgaon) / NCR.
- Mode: Online (video), or in person where feasible.
- Languages: English, Hindi, and Tamil. Written communication in English; conversations in any of the three.
- Length: A single session usually runs 60–90 minutes, depending on the matter.
- Before we meet: A short note from you on what you would like to think through, so the time is spent well.
- Fees: Shared on enquiry.
Talks and Lectures for Schools, Colleges, and Organizations
I offer talks and lectures for senior school and college audiences, university departments, and professional or corporate groups.
The talks connect ideas across academics, philosophy, and the older traditions of thought, and approach a subject from a perspective that is not the customary one. The aim is not to deliver a fixed curriculum, but to look closely at something familiar — a pattern in nature, an idea usually taken at face value, or a question that sits underneath a discipline.
Themes are drawn from across mathematics, physics, philosophy, and Jyotisha — for example: quantum computing, AI and semantics, symmetry in nature, chaos and probability.
A talk can be shaped to the audience and the occasion — a 45-minute lecture, an interactive session, or a longer workshop. There is no fee for talks at schools and colleges.
