He established himself as a successful industrialist before entering politics. He founded companies in sectors like construction, infrastructure, and mining, amassing wealth and influence.

In 2014, he made his political debut by joining the Yuvajana Sramika Rythu Congress Party. However, he joined the BJP after failing to win the party's candidacy. A year later, he relocated once more and joined the Telugu Desam Party before switching back to the Yuvajana Sramika Rythu Congress Party in 2019. Some questioned this political nomadism, blaming it more on personal goals than ideological alignment.
