Learnt chess at around 11 years of age. Took up training when I I was around 24. Got a talented bunch of students and enjoyed their journey while learning myself. This also helped me connect with a lot of world class trainers like Vladimir Chuchelov, Lev Psakhis and many others. Happiest moment as a trainer when Abhijeet Gupta won the World Junior Championship and Parimarjan Negi came second in the same event (Both personal students). Tania Sachdevn meanwhile also won the Indian and the Asian Championship. These three also went on to receive the Arjuna Award.
