His mother was one of the first lady pilots in India who was a passionate aviator. From the ages of 12 to 18, he attended The Doon School, a boarding school in Himalayan foothills of India. In 1983, he relocated to California earning a mechanical engineering degree with an aeronautical focus from Northrop University and was the graduating student engineer of the year.

His responsibilities included engineering, maintenance programs, ground operations, component and aircraft maintenance, reliability engineering, planning, aircraft purchases, divestures, mergers and acquisitions.

From 1993 to 1996, living between Tel Aviv and New York, he served as Corporate Vice President for Israeli aviation contractor RADA Industries, where he globalized several proprietary technologies to the civil aviation sector.

In 1997, he acquired Tulsa based Horizontal Ventures, an oil and gas horizontal drilling technology company and from April 1997 to September 1997, he served as Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the company.
