Leadership story

PHK's path into entrepreneurship began far from boardrooms — in automobile engineering and hands-on service work, including roles at Maruti Udyog and Tata Motors. That early grounding in solving practical, on-the-ground problems shaped how he later approached business: not as abstract strategy, but as building things that work for real people.

In 2006, he founded PHK Group and Infinity Incorporation, beginning two decades of launching ventures across sectors as different as renewable energy, education, media, and wedding planning — each one, in his words, "a piece of a larger mission." Alongside this, he built a parallel body of expertise in cybercrime investigation, digital forensics, and counter-terrorism, formalized through certifications and technical committee roles with national cyber security bodies.

Today, as Regional Director at the National Cyber Security Research Council and founder of Cybercrimes.tv, that expertise has become his most visible platform — advocating nationally for stronger cyber defence, while continuing to grow the PHK Group portfolio.
