The things
that make
me, me.
A resume can tell you what I have studied, worked on and achieved. This is about the things that do not always fit into a resume — the interests I have grown up with, the things I enjoy and the experiences that have shaped me along the way.
There is more to me
than what I study.
Some of the things I enjoy most have very little to do with data or finance.
I have spent years learning Kathak, playing badminton, participating in debates and elocution, exploring music and the arts, and building ideas through entrepreneurship.
These experiences have given me different ways to think, different ways to express myself and, most importantly, different ways to look at a problem.
I like taking an idea
and seeing where it goes.
My interest in entrepreneurship started with Project Prarambh, where I worked as a co-founder and financial lead on an upcycled PET filament venture.
What I enjoyed most was seeing an idea move beyond a concept. Suddenly, there were questions about customers, costs, pricing, capital and whether the business could actually work.
It made me enjoy the space between having an idea and figuring out how to make it real.
Some things are learned
through repetition.
Badminton has taught me to compete, stay focused and keep going even when things do not go my way.
Kathak has taught me something different. Years of practice have taught me patience, discipline and the importance of showing up consistently, even when progress is slow.
Both have stayed with me in different ways.
Learning from what is
already around you.
During my community service at Government P.S. Baskhedi, Bhopal, I worked with underprivileged children and helped create simple learning activities using materials that were already available to them.
We made counting tools from tablet scraps, used rocks to teach colours and created other activities through a best-out-of-waste approach.
Instead of starting with what was missing, I learned to look at what was available and think about how it could be used differently.
I like having more than
one way to look at the world.
I enjoy music, museums, exhibitions, debate and learning about things outside my academic work.
I have also participated in the International English Olympiad at the national level, which strengthened my interest in language, communication and expression.
For me, curiosity does not stop when a class ends. Sometimes it is a conversation, a performance, an exhibition or simply discovering something I did not know before.
More than one way
to look at the world.
Data and finance are a big part of what I enjoy, but they are not the whole picture.
Sport has taught me discipline. Kathak has taught me patience. Entrepreneurship has taught me to build. Community work has taught me to be resourceful. And curiosity keeps me exploring.
I like having more than one way to look at the world — and I think that makes its way into how I approach my work too.
