About
I learn best by making things.
I’m a student in New Delhi interested in strategy, product, growth, and entrepreneurship. Most of what I know has come from working on projects, joining small teams, entering competitions, and asking better questions along the way.
Right now, I’m working on GreenStruct and TheStratX while looking for opportunities where I can research, build, and contribute to real work.
Now
On my desk right now.
The ideas and questions taking up most of my time.
GreenStruct
Refining the compliance workflow and learning what needs to be validated in a practical pilot.
TheStratX
Developing an applied-learning model around live problems, feedback, and stronger work samples.
Strategy + product
Open to projects where research can lead to a useful recommendation, experiment, or prototype.
