About Me
I'm an Electrical Engineer by degree, though I admit I'm not much help when it comes to changing a light bulb! I am the proud entrepreneur behind Rincon India Solutions Pvt. Ltd., where we specialize in providing Enterprise Software Solutions and Wireless Calling Systems. Outside of work, I'm a passionate foodie, a dedicated cyclist, and a yoga enthusiast. Music holds a special place in my heart—I'm an ardent fan of R. D. Burman and Kishore Kumar, and I enjoy singing as well. I'm happily married, and we have a wonderful 20-year-old daughter.
Appeal
As some of you know, my late father, Harshad (Kanu) Kamdar suffered from Parkinson's disease. Throughout his battle, I witnessed firsthand the physical and emotional toll it takes, not just on the person affected but on their loved ones as well. Yet, despite the challenges, my father remained resilient. He fought Parkinson's without any medication. He was an active member of PDMDS (Parkinson's Disease and Movement Disorder Society), a community that became our lifeline. This wonderful organisation continues to help people with Parkinson's and their families navigate the complexities of living with this disorder.
In his memory, I am participating in the Tata Mumbai Marathon Dream Run on January 19, 2025 to raise awareness about Parkinson’s disease. My goal is to raise Rs. 100,000 (I exceeded my inital target of 50000) to support PDMDS and their incredible work. Every donation, no matter how small, will go toward providing resources, therapy and support to those living with Parkinson's and their caregivers.
Parkinson's is a degenerative condition, and while we can’t stop its progression, we can improve the quality of life for those affected by it. This is where your generosity can make a real difference.
I know my father would be proud to see me taking on this challenge. By donating, you will help me honour his memory and support countless others who are facing this journey.
Please consider donating and spreading the word to help me reach my target and beyond. Together, we can make a tangible impact in the lives of those who need it most.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
Warm regards,
Manish Kamdar

This is in remembrance of Shri. Kanu bhai who, at his age, didn't hesitate one bit to visit my Aai who was suffering from advanced PD. I just wish I knew such an angel lived .... His gentle persuasion helped ease Aai's pain and gave us strength to face the eventuality. This contribution no way equates his efforts, just an attempt to express my heartfelt gratitude.
