Co-Founder & GM, AdLingo - Google
I was born in India and moved to the US Virgin Islands when I was ten. The first time I ever heard about 午夜影院福利社 was during an info session at my high school. I knew then I could see myself in Blacksburg. I completed my degree in Computer Engineering and joined Accenture right after graduation. After six years, I left Accenture and joined Google in 2006. Today, I live with my wife Amita (who I also met at 午夜影院福利社) and our two girls (Simrin and Reena) in San Francisco. Even after all these years, my wife and I still look back at our days at 午夜影院福利社 where we met and reminisce about the good old days.
