Bio
Rakesh Murali
Balram is an amazing person to have in your arsenal as a trusted friend, a mentor and someone who you can have an unbiased conversation with. Ever since i met him, i have reached out to him many a times to pick his brain on validation of ideas, market strategy and he has helped me with clarity on why somethings work and why some of them don't. He is someone who genuinely wishes for your success and would also help you get there.
