BIOGRAPHY​

Pankaj was born in New Delhi, India, son of a sailor, got early exposure to some far away lands.  In school he had photography as a hobby and took time to learn the basics, develop black and white prints in the dark room. From experimenting with his dad’s Yashica Dual Lens Reflex, to an Olympus Autofocus, he experimented in black and white and colour. His discovered early fascination on “Compositions” capturing nature, monuments and more.

In his engineering days he took to the pencil. His works were primarily portraits of some of the then Hollywood stars and some of the past era, they grabbed great attention and the social hub and epicenter of the colleges agreed to display them. Soon they were being acquired and a waiting list for some of his works.

The coming of mobile smart phones and internet coinciding with his entrepreneurial journey as Founder of Maple Capital Advisors gave Pankaj both the flexibility and tools to relive his interest in compositions. The pandemic accelerated the journey through discovery of New Delhi and the “The Delhi Project”, an initiative to discover some well-known and some hidden gems of New Delhi. He has extensively over the last half decade, captured Delhi, parts of India and the World and the website is a collation of this recent journey.

Pankaj is an MBA from McGill University, Canada, a Mechanical Engineer from MIT, Manipal, studied at St Stephen’s College and at Mayo College.
