Chandan Deshmukh

Chandan Deshmukh, a TEDx speaker, is a thirty-one-year-old Bengaluru-based Electronics and Communication Engineer by chance and an SAP Basis engineer by profession. Chandan’s constant public embarrassments in parent-teacher meetings and never-ending self-doubts in his career led him to research hacks and best practices that everyone can easily apply in their daily life. His first love is theatre and during his childhood, he acted in a Kannada movie and a TV serial. He draws cartoons about the subtle humour of being awkward on awkwardpage.com. And when he is not scaring his family with weird philosophies, he is likely to be swimming, travelling or bungee jumping.
