About

A Mechanical Engineering graduate from IIT Kharagpur with a specialisation in Manufacturing Science and Engineering and a Micro-specialisation in Artificial Intelligence and applications. I am an AUT at ITC Limited, working on cutting-edge projects with a strategic lens. I have a fascination for everything business and engineering, and I love how the intersection of the two can create value for the masses. I fancy networking with people having offbeat ideas. On the personal front, I enjoy exercising through swimming and lifting weights to train like a hybrid athlete and reading books on entrepreneurship and strategy. I have also recently discovered the joy in personal finance and investing. I enjoy learning about drastically different perspectives on the world. After all, the world is run through perception and action!
