Swami Vivekananda has rightly said, “Whatever you think that you will be. If you think yourself weak, weak you will be; if you think yourself strong, you will be.”
My name, pronounced Shom means ‘Born out of a ray of the Sun.’
I am an E-commerce entrepreneur, angel investor, best-selling author, philanthropist, Hindustani classical singer & globe trotter!
But, first, I am a passionate go-getter who believes in karma and live my life by the principle – Treat people the way YOU want to be treated.
I empower people to lead extraordinary lives, I inspire them with real-life motivation ripped right from pages of my own life and I believe that when we truly know ourselves and what works for us, we can change our lives.
An MIT alumna and a first generation entrepreneur from my family, I am currently running my third venture as an Ecommerce entrepreneur and AI entrepreneur.
I am a “pedigree” entrepreneur, having successfully started my first business, making and selling chocolates, while in college and earning enough to put me through school in the US.
I am a creator.
I not only create great enterprises, I create inventors and leaders by investing in brilliant ideas, I also create records out of my memories and turn them into memoirs, books.
I am truly glad to see you here.

– Happiness is centered around righteousness & ethics, embedded in the way of life.

With only a few hundred rupees in my pocket, I escaped home to study management in Bangalore.
I travelled to the US to pursue higher studies. This was the start of a meteoric climb to the top.
I was recruited into one of the most renowned software organizations in the world.
I returned to my homeland and started my first business, Unspun Group, an ad-tech firm. I had laid the groundwork for my entrepreneurial journey.
I founded IRA – House of Designers, a crowdsourced multimillion-dollar fashion label for e-commerce and retail.
My first two ventures were successfully acquired. Soon after, Assiduus Global, the world’s leading AI-powered cross-border E-commerce Accelerator and my third entrepreneurial venture was born.
