Embracing Family in the Bay Area: Pausing Onsite Engagements Through 2026 – Let’s Stay Connected!

All,

After thoughtful conversations with my family, we’ve reached an exciting decision: I’ll be relocating to San Francisco Bay Area (Cupertino- Son; Foster City -Daughter) to be closer to my children and dedicate precious time to my growing grandchildren, who truly need their grandparents’ presence during these formative years.

Starting Mid November 2025, I’ll be based primarily in San Francisco through the end of the calendar year 2026, entering the U.S. as permitted by immigration norms. This move marks a meaningful shift, allowing me to prioritize these family moments while cherishing the bonds we’ve all built over the years.

In light of this transition, I’ll be stepping back from onsite visits and in-person engagements until after December 2026. It’s a temporary pause to fully embrace this chapter, but rest assured, my commitment to our shared professional journeys remains strong. With over 40 years of expertise in Chemical and Pharmaceutical industries (Formulations and API), Engineering, Aerospace, and Ag-Biotech, I’m looking forward to reconnecting early 2027, to explore how we might collaborate anew.

Your support and insights have been invaluable throughout my career—thank you for being part of this network. I’d love to hear updates from you in the meantime; feel free to drop a line.

Looking forward to the possibilities ahead!

Warm regards,Karthik.
