Hi, I'm Mani
An Indian who walked the talk.
I write for the version of me from 15 years ago — the one who just landed abroad with more questions than answers. Money, paperwork, identity, family, freedom. The messy stuff.
The story so far
Kerala
Where it started. Small-town Indian upbringing.
First move
Left India for work. Learned everything the hard way.
Entrepreneur
Built companies, made money, lost some, learned more.
Between worlds
Lived in 3 countries. Still counting.
Today
Writing what I wish I'd read 15 years ago.
A note from Mani
"There's a lot of noise about NRI life. I try to write the signal."
