Let's Break Barriers

Re-imagine leadership by questioning every convention, with a vision of building an local eco system where innovation and local small businesses thrive.
I am looking to connect with anyone who can help me rebuild our community book an appointment to discuss.

In the debate, I highlighted various issus in San Ramon, like my opponent running for power, engaging residents, developers funding tax on residents, economy revitalization, affordability, need for smaller housing units to preserve open space, public safety.

Community Priorities

Measure N

City of San Ramon has a tax measure N, the way its worded is so wrong that, when the resident shows up in city council meeting the whole council was confused. So I ask residents to say No on Measure N. Here is the page i added Accountability

Community Engagement

Seats going unopposed highlight serious issues. My experience has shown me that there are many barriers that need to be broken to engage diverse voices from the community.

Youth Leadership

Dreaming to make San Ramon a hub of innovation, where youth receive strong motivation to pursue leadership. Inspired by our youth, I created

Lead4Earth.org, where young people promote climate leadership and collaborate with peers in various cities to support youth environmental leaders.

Parks and Open Spaces

We have exploited much of our open space, and if left unchecked, we risk becoming a concrete jungle. I have been actively monitoring the City Walk project and similar dense developments where everything is within a 15-minute walk. I will work to ensure that all new developments do not come at the cost of our open space.

Structural Changes


As I emphasized in my viral video shared across multiple WhatsApp groups, I believe the current council has significant structural shortcomings in effectively representing the residents of San Ramon. To address this deficit, I propose structural reforms focused on correcting the city's excessive spending habits.

Life Story

I have been living in San Ramon since 2011. As a parent of three children attending three different schools, I understand the challenges our city of San Ramon faces.

I started my first business right out of college, driven by my passion for technology and leadership. Currently, I run three initiatives:

Enterprise Mobility Inc.: A Software and Technology Consulting Business.

Mangalm LLC: An Ethnic Grocery Line Distribution Business.

Lead For Earth: A nonprofit where I mentor youth. At Lead For Earth (lead4earth.org), we connect young people with leaders, research climate report cards, and link them with local school volunteer bases.


My Mission

I strongly believe that any community needs an ecosystem where local entrepreneurship needs to be cultivated and encouraged to build a thriving society.

While door knocking I found there are many solutions community has to offer but most of them were pushed back because leadership would not encourage. I have personally felt this where in it took us 4 years to setup a sustainability advisory committee where we had to collect signatures from community members.

Affordability was another top issue in community and there are solutions where we need to take stronger actions.

Community Engagement many residents were unaware that the city is bleeding for years and there is a ballot measure on ballot.
