A science graduate, Mr. Narayanan did not choose a career of test tubes and formulae. He decided to take a path less taken and that made all the difference.

 

After college he moved to Chennai where he spent nearly twenty years in business, as financial and management consultant.

 "Business has been a source of joy and rewarding too. Poetry, the other river of my life, is something I can't live without. It has been a central thing to me. All these years I have been working hard to see if I'll be able to make these two rivers converge," says Mr. Narayanan, who now administers Campus Canada an institution that helps students gain admission in Canadian colleges.
