Hello

My Story (So Far)

Okay, so here’s my story.
Not the polished, linear, “everything-made-sense-from-day-one” version.
But the real one — the one that wandered, experimented, danced, questioned, built, paused, and then connected the dots.

​

It began at EuroKids — which, in hindsight, explains my lifelong comfort with curiosity, colour, and a little chaos. From there, I moved to Baldwin Girls’ High School, where something unexpected happened: I was selected to go to NASA. I came back with a Kennedy Space Pass certificate, a Harvard Leadership certificate, and an early realization that curiosity wasn’t just a trait — it was a passport. I graduated ICSE with 85%.

​

For ISC, I joined Bishop Cotton Girls’ School, took PCMB, and graduated with 82%. Somewhere between equations and experiments, I learned discipline — and also that I didn’t want my life to be confined to a single box.

​

Parallel to academics, something else was always alive in me.
I am a Bharatanatyam dancer, trained from a young age. A singer. An artist, especially drawn to article painting. Art wasn’t a hobby — it was how I processed the world. Rhythm taught me structure. Abhinaya taught me empathy. Music taught me timing. Art taught me patience.

​

I also love puzzles — the kind that demand quiet focus and pattern recognition. Recently, I completed a 750-piece puzzle, and it reminded me why I enjoy complexity: not for chaos, but for the moment when scattered pieces finally click. That feeling has followed me everywhere since.

​

Then came engineering.

​

I joined Bangalore Institute of Technology for Electronics and Communication Engineering (ECE) — and this place didn’t just educate me, it expanded me. I was completely out there, figuring things out one day at a time.

I started freelancing early — AutoCAD designs, digital marketing, social media management — while still in my first two years of college. I didn’t wait to feel ready. I learned by doing.

​

I was also everywhere on campus.
There wasn’t a club I wasn’t part of — and not just as a member. I was on committees, leading teams, organizing college fests, taking responsibility. Eventually, I went on to start my own Amateur Radio (HAM) Club, well-known for its role in disaster management. Awards followed. Experiences stacked up. Confidence built quietly.

​

Then came a turning point.

I secured an internship at IISc, and this is where my product sense truly woke up. I vividly remember pitching an idea to make a system fully automated — more features, more complexity, more “wow.”

My professor paused and said:

“People want ease.
If you can sell ease, you win.
They don’t care how fancy the technology is.
They care how deeply a problem is solved.”

That sentence stayed with me.

​

Back in 2022, during my 8-month internship, I was mind-blown every single day. Though my role was Project Intern – Embedded Systems, strategic thinking became central to how I approached problems. I graduated engineering with a CGPA of 8.08 — but more importantly, with clarity beginning to take shape.

​

My college graduation remains deeply special. As I walked the stage, my awards and achievements were displayed — not as validation, but as a quiet acknowledgment of years of consistency, curiosity, and courage.

​

The very first thing I did after graduation?

I took a solo trip.

Two days. That’s all it took.
Those two days taught me more than years of formal education.

From boarding a flight alone in Bangalore, to navigating conversations in a completely unfamiliar state, to intentionally stepping into one of the most crowded places in India — Puri during the Rath Yatra. It was overwhelming, grounding, and unforgettable.

​

Travel became an integral part of my life after that. Multiple trips. Adventures I’m deeply proud of. Each one stretched my comfort zone and sharpened my perspective.

​

Right after returning, I launched my podcast on Spotify — from scratch.
Scripting. Recording. Editing. Branding. Posting.
All in one single day.

That day taught me something powerful: urgency clarifies priorities. It taught me more than any project management course ever could.

​

A few months of deep research later, I launched Version 1 of Neuron Inputs — my startup. The first program I launched made me 100× returns. No investment. Just focused time and intent. It was an exam workshop series, built on a simple insight:

Students don’t worry about what they’ve studied.
They worry about what they haven’t.

​

During this phase, I also served as a leadership trainer at Rotaract for over two years — designing sessions, mentoring students, facilitating growth, and helping young people find clarity and confidence. Teaching leadership reinforced something I deeply believe: clarity multiplies when shared.

​

Soon after, I was elected President of a community club, where I created an award-winning professional development initiative —
The 5 A.M. Brilliance Boost.

150 days.
Consistency. Resonance. Growth.
Deep self-realizations. Real transformation.

​

Public speaking had become second nature by then. With over three years of experience, presenting daily felt natural. I explored AI tools, built presentations every single day, and educated people on self-discovery, clarity, and confidence. The initiative led to multiple online and offline paid speaking engagements.

​

I published an e-book on Gumroad.
Then decided it was time to help companies more directly.

​

I joined YourDOST as a Founder’s Office Associate. The work was meaningful. The commute — four hours for 20 km — was not. Within a month, I made a conscious decision, found a close replacement, and left with gratitude.

That experience taught me an important lesson:
Knowing when to say no is an act of leadership.

​

Then came AI.

And with it, Version 2 of Neuron Inputs — an AI-based career discovery platform, built end-to-end through multiple MVPs, experiments, failures, and refinements.

This journey took me across campuses and conferences — IIM Bangalore, IISc, TiE chapter meetings, and the IEEE AI Summit.

​

Somewhere along the way, everything connected.

​

My love for patterns — from puzzles to products.
My cultural grounding — through dance, music, and art.
My spiritual anchoring — in Lord Krishna, whose philosophy of clarity without attachment resonates deeply with how I live and work. I find stillness in temples, and direction in reflection.

​

I realized I love strategic thinking.
I love product sense.
I love understanding the heart of a product.

​

Product Management wasn’t just a career choice.
It was the clarity I had been searching for all along.

​

And here I am.
Still curious.
Still building.
Still solving puzzles — within systems, within products, and within myself — choosing ease over noise, and meaning over motion.
