Shantanu Malaviya



I'm a born technocrat whiz. I am technically inquisitive and loves computers & electronics, management & consulting and Space technology Research. 

Born and bought in New Delhi, India. I belong to the family of the great freedom fighter Pandit Madan Mohan Malaviya (1861—1946), who was the founder of Banaras (Hindu) University which stands as an enduring memorial to his foresight, educational ideals, and passion for Indian culture. Malaviyaji attended the Congress (British India) session from 1886 to 1936 and presided over the sessions of 1909 and 1918. In his presidential address at the Lahore session he declared that "it is righteousness alone that wins."

I am a technology enthusiast right from my school days, consequently directed my career by taking engineering sciences in high school. After high school, my interest got exaggerated, so I decided to took special courses in basic electronics and computer hardware technology apart from pursuing my degree in Computer Science. I started to work part-time while pursuing university studies and earned enough from maintaining & debugging electronic gadgets and computers. This eventually gave me a good tip to study and earn, to thrive in hard times during recession. 

I started my career with my own freelance service of electronics, computer hardware and technical support. Seasoned professional with Diploma, BS, MS in Computer Science and MBA. More than 20 years of experience in IT, Client Management, Software Testing and Business Intelligence. Worked with companies like IBM, HCL, Impetus with overseas experience. Currently working as C-Level Executive/ Consultant. Always inclined towards learning, change and loves to travel. 

However, I am a failure because:
1. Arrogant behaviour and too much egoe. 
2. I lost my father when I was 13, I didn't listen to my mother who worked hard for me. 
3. I didn't listen to my grandfather who was a successful person and always loved me. 
4. I didn't listen to my Uncle who was a learned professional and liked me. 
5. I didn't listen to my maternal uncle who was a renowned professor and cared for me.
6. I didn't listen to my cousin brother who was my guardian during my schooling. 

My interest includes -- New Technology, electronic Gadgets, UFO, Rail-Fanning....Other interests include, internet, Space Sciences, reading books, movies (English and Hindi), travelling and exploring new places in the world.
