Inspiring lives to arise, thrive, and bless the world around them

My Life Story

I was born and raised in South India. During my early teenage years, I did not consider myself a leader. In fact, I was a timid boy, afraid to even stand up in class and recite a poem in front of my English teacher. At that time, I had no awareness of my life’s purpose.

Being part of a Christian family, I was always interested in attending church and other services. During one such gathering, I committed my life to Jesus, marking the beginning of a new spiritual journey. Later, as a teenager attending a ministry training camp, I was empowered by the Holy Spirit. That experience freed me from timidity and helped me embrace the Father’s love and call.

I became passionately involved in ministry during and after my undergraduate and graduate studies (B.A., M.A., M.Div.). After my studies, I worked with a youth organization, ministering among the student community and developing student leaders. Later, through Glorious Living Ministries—a ministry platform I launched with my wife, Ancy—we creatively shared the Good News with young people in the educational sector and raised emerging leaders.

Subsequently, through my innovative ministry platforms like Inspo Life, I focused more on developing leaders in both the ecclesial and marketplace domains through leadership coaching and small‑group training programs. I witnessed the Spirit’s remarkable work among these leaders. Recognizing the need for a training program that integrated biblical and leadership principles—with special emphasis on the Holy Spirit and spiritual gifts—I developed a course as part of my Doctor of Ministry (D.Min.) project at Oral Roberts University, USA.

It’s been an honor to inspire lives across educational, ecclesial, and marketplace settings for more than 30 years. This story continues. To Jesus, my Lord and Savior, be all the glory!
