Educating migrants and students on the power of reading and LinkedIn writing | On a journey of reading 100 books (99/100) 📚📖 and learning from the journeys of 500 migrants (49/500) 🤝

I’m on a journey to read 150 books and learn from the experiences of 500 people. I use the insights I’ve gained—combined with my own journey in Australia—to share my thoughts on LinkedIn.

My purpose is to add value to people’s lives by paying it forward through writing. My mission is to reshape how migrants perceive their journey using the power of storytelling.

My Story:

I grew up in Mumbai, India, where cricket thrives, but other sports struggle. I dreamed of becoming an athlete but lacked the courage and relentless discipline to pursue it. Instead, I took the safer path—doing well in academics, earning a bachelor's in Computer Engineering, and securing an IT job.

In 2017, I left my promising IT career to follow my passion for sports. I pursued a Master’s in Sports Management at Deakin University to develop the skills needed for a meaningful career in sports. I made this leap because I felt stuck and couldn’t see myself in IT any longer.

Deep down, I always knew I wanted to work in sports. After much reflection, I finally found the courage to leave my comfort zone, embrace resilience and patience, and work toward making an impact in the field.

Since then, I’ve gained experience in both IT and sports. I worked as an IT consultant with Techsa Services in India and am currently a Project Officer at the Office for Recreation, Sport and Racing in Adelaide.

I bring 5+ years of experience in computer networks and IT administration and 4 years in sports administration, coaching, and development. As a sports management professional, I’m passionate about inspiring people to lead active lives and motivating elite athletes to unlock their full potential.

Beyond work, I love playing soccer and cricket—whether in a competitive club match or a casual game with friends. I also enjoy coaching, reading books, and watching action anime. I’m passionate about helping people build reading habits and express themselves effectively.

🙌 I’m always intrigued by people’s journeys. So, if you ever receive a message from me, know that I’m genuinely interested in learning about your story!
