About

I am currently pursuing Applied Marketing at the Altera Institute, where I aim to integrate my analytical skills with marketing insights to drive business growth. I began my career as a Mechanical Engineer at Adani Power, where I quickly grew into a leadership role and became the first trainee to manage shifts independently. During this journey, I discovered my passion for strategy and problem-solving beyond the shop floor. Now, I am excited to channel my technical expertise and leadership experience into becoming a marketeer, connecting engineering know-how with strategic business impact.
