If you're wondering, Koshy is a derivative of the name Joshua used by Christians in the south Indian state of Kerala, and as a surname among families from Kerala in the United States.

My dad has spent nearly all of the last 21 years working on various airport projects in the Middle East including KAIA in Jeddah amd KFIA in Dammam (which opened in 1999 to become the largest airport in the world), and later at NDIA in Doha, Qatar. He is currently with the Abu Dhabi Ports Company and is involved in the development of the Khalifa port and Industrial Zone comprising of a port on reclaimed land at Taweelah (half way between Abu Dhabi and Dubai) and an industrial zone covering 420 sq. km. Before taking up employment in the Midlle East, he was a management consultant with the National Productivity Council in Delhi / Bangalore. Prior to that he was with TELK, a leading transformer (400KV) manufacturing company with Hitachi collaboration.

My younger brother and I moved to India in 1997 with my mom in light of the better educational opportunities there. For the next 12 years, we spent our vacations back with my dad and he came home a few times a year to see us. It was quite an unconventional and fragmented life but it served a purpose.

Everything you see here, everything I have created and everything that I have ever achieved would not have been possible without the support and guidance of my parents - John Koshy and Susan John. My successes are not my own - they are a manifestation of the person my parents moulded me to be. That someone so thoroughly average like me could do as well as I have is a reflection of the sacrifices they made.
