In 1985, he was ranked as the #7 builder in the USA by Professional Builder, as a home builder with volume of $880 million, and was also the #4 apartment builder. During his career, he built over 16,000 apartments and homes in 17 states, of which 50% were low income housing, with a total value of $2 billion. He migrated to the USA in 1968 after an illustrious career in the Indian Air Force as a top gun instructor. He flew for a couple of years for TWA and started his real estate company in 1972 with $32,000 in capital and no experience in real estate or business, and grew the company to a billion dollar company by 1985.

In recent years, he has founded and invested in multiple technology companies:

• StemXO is a biotech company working with Griffith University (Australia) to reduce hypothalamus inflammation using exosomes, including treatment for TBI and stroke, initially with NSCs and later using intranasal and sublingual techniques — aiming at new treatments for anti-aging and several devastating diseases to improve the quality of life of the elderly.
• An LCD manufacturing factory was built in Puerto Rico for replacement of broken smartphone screens, creating local jobs.
• LEDBloom: state-of-the-art special spectrum grow lights for vertical gardens to increase production and reduce electrical, water and nutrient consumption.
