Jaye and I come from humble beginnings, shaped by parents who taught us what truly matters — people, not possessions; respect for money, but never submission to it. These timeless lessons have been the heartbeat of our journey, quietly guiding us through every step.
Like many of our generation, our professional paths began in the corporate world. But it was love that truly set our journey in motion — after meeting and marrying in India, we took a leap of faith and planted new roots in Connecticut fifteen years ago. Why Connecticut? Because here we found more than a place to live — we found community. A place where neighbors know your name, where culture isn’t just celebrated but lived every day. It felt like home before we even unpacked our bags.
Professionally, I led technology delivery at a global firm, blending innovation and strategy to help insurance clients worldwide. Jaye’s journey took her from Big 4 accounting to founding her own CPA practice in Glastonbury. Together, our paths brought us to a shared purpose beyond numbers and tech—a purpose rooted in people and their stories.
Purchasing the Glastonbury and West Hartford Lifestyle magazines was never just a business decision. We saw in Gary Perrelli, the former publisher, a passion and a spark we wanted to nurture. These magazines are more than pages and print; they are the living voices of local businesses and communities. Behind every shop, office, or café is a story of dreams chased, hurdles overcome, and families united in hope and hard work.
Through our growing connection to these towns, we’ve learned that what people truly seek is connection — raw, honest, and heartfelt connection. Our magazines are vessels for those stories, platforms where the human spirit shines through. We believe in the profound power of sharing authentic experiences to weave communities stronger and brighter.
Our corporate experience gave us tools — strategy, leadership, resilience, but it’s our belief in community and creativity that shapes our vision. We honor the foundation Gary built, knowing that change, while daunting, is also the seed of growth. Our goal is to elevate, not disrupt — to enrich readers’ lives and amplify local voices with clarity, warmth, and impact.
At the core of it all is family - the true north of our lives. Jaye and I are driven by love for our twin daughters, Taara and Vedha, the unwavering support of our parents and siblings, and the laughter of lifelong friends. In 2024, we welcomed Milo, our golden retriever whose joyful spirit fills our home with boundless energy. When we step away from work, you’ll find us skating on ice with our girls, toasting with friends, reminiscing with family, or simply marveling at Milo’s endless charm.
These are the moments we cherish — the threads that weave our life’s tapestry with joy, connection, and memories to last a lifetime.
