Our town shouldn't be decided by a 20-year incumbent or by people outside our town. It should be decided by the people who live here. On October 26, that's you.

With more than 30 years of diverse professional experience spanning technology, manufacturing, sales, travel, and the credit bureau industry, I bring a unique blend of corporate discipline and strategic vision to the table. Currently serving as an executive for one of Canada's leading credit bureaus, I understand how to manage complex systems, analyze data, and drive meaningful results.
My dedication to public policy and local representation is backed by proven experience, including serving as a member of the OREA (Ontario Real Estate Association) Government Relations Committee for 2025. This role deepened my understanding of housing, infrastructure, and the collaborative policies needed to help municipalities thrive.
Effective municipal leadership requires a firm grasp of both fiscal responsibility and modern technology. My educational foundation equips me to handle Oakville's future growth with precision:
This academic background allows me to bridge the gap between financial oversight and innovative technological solutions, ensuring Oakville operates efficiently as a forward-thinking, 21st-century town.
Beyond my professional life, my family and personal values are the heartbeat of my connection to Oakville. My wife, Ruby, is a tech company executive, and together we have raised two daughters who are dedicating their lives to healthcare. Our eldest, Pankhudi, is in her first year at the University of Toronto Medical School, and our youngest, Prachi, is in her second year of a Bachelor of Medical Science at Western University.
Our household is built on harmony — both literally and figuratively. Music is our family lifeline. Between my daughters and me, we play more than 15 musical instruments, and I am an avid player of various percussion instruments. As a certified third-level Reiki practitioner, I value mindfulness, wellness, and balance — principles I intend to bring directly to town hall.
An active sports enthusiast, you can often find me out in the community playing soccer, badminton, cricket, volleyball, or pickleball, as well as biking and hiking across Oakville's beautiful trail networks.
I am running for Mayor because I believe my executive leadership, data-driven background, and deep love for our community can ensure a bright, balanced, and prosperous future for every resident of Oakville.
He is the most wonderful man I have ever met. So honest & kind — a great person.
