About Me
I was 13 years old and had just transitioned from a modest school in suburban Mumbai to one of the best schools in India, a shift that exposed me to diverse peers and challenges. There was a day when two classmates approached me, wrote “Louis Vuitton” on a paper and asked me to pronounce it. They mockingly laughed at my response. This seemingly trivial incident ignited a determination to excel in everything I do, something that has heavily shaped my subsequent academic and professional careers.
Since then, I've made a career out of leaning into the unfamiliar. At IIT Bombay, I dove deep into engineering and research. In Japan, I thrived in a culture and corporate environment vastly different from my own, developing products and championing cross-functional collaboration. I see products not just as features or specs, but as experiences — shaped by the people who use them, the cultures they live in, and the problems they solve. My north star is simple: create value that lasts. I'm driven by curiosity, a love for human-centered problem solving, and the belief that great products are built when you challenge the mold, not just fit into it.
Two truths and a lie: 1) I have climbed the summit of Mount Fuji. 2) I have meditated for 12 hours in a day. 3) I have learnt to drift a car.
