The story
JG
Paris, France
"From engineering blueprints to luxury brand strategies — precision has always been my language."
My journey began with mechanical engineering in Hassan, India — where every problem had a spec and every solution had to be justified. That rigor never left me. It simply evolved when I found myself drawn to the human side of business: why people choose luxury, what stories brands tell, and how data reveals the truth beneath the surface.

Today, studying International Luxury Management at ESSCA in Paris, I sit at an unusual intersection — analytically trained, culturally curious, and deeply invested in the craftsmanship of how brands connect with their audiences.
