Welcome to the “Life in the Swimlane” blog series. Here we will feature interviews with Swimlaners to learn more about their experience. This series will give you a preview of Swimlane, our culture, and the people who keep us going.
I was born and raised up in Mysore, the city which is renowned for its rich cultural heritage, stunning architecture, and role as a center for art and education.
Before I started working in Human Resources, I received a post graduate degree in Business Administration specializing in HR from University of Mysore. After that, I went to law school at the University of Mysore.
When I’m not working I enjoy spending my time doing art work, cooking, and exploring Indian Mythology and the science behind it. India is a vast, populous, and diverse nation encompassing many different identities, languages, cultures, and religions. Indian culture has many complexities to it and for me, this brings in the passion I have for exploring India’s diverse culture, temples, mythology, and astrology.
