About Me

A Mechanical Engineer by education, Marine Engineer by profession and Computing enthusiast by passion; tries his best not to be a J.O.A.T. (wont elaborate on the acronym) Has traveled wide and far, gathering rich experience (and some bad as well). Currently exploring a minuscule portion of the immense opportunities E-commerce has to offer. Offers virtual outsourcing solutions under the banner of Abhishek Solutions (yet to be registered as a formal entity though in future) by teaming up with professionals from different fields and experts in their own right. A few websites also in the pipeline will keep updating info as and when available. Plans to go back to the oceans for short stints intermittently when exhausted.

Favourite quote

The goal of mankind is knowledge. This knowledge is inherent in man. No knowledge comes from outside; it is all inside. What we say a man 'knows', should, in strict psychological language, be what he 'discovers' or 'unveils'; what man 'learns' is really what he discovers by taking the cover off his own soul, which is a mine of infinite knowledge ("Swami Vivekananda" - Great Philosopher of the Orient)
