About

I'm a Bishopite — six years at The Bishop's Co-Ed School, Kalyani Nagar, Pune, earning the "Best Boarder" award and serving as Prefect in my final year.

After returning to Mumbai, I completed my 11th and 12th from Mithibai College, and am now simultaneously pursuing a B.Com in Management & Finance (BMF) at NM College and a BBA in Digital Business & Entrepreneurship at IIM Bangalore, where I also serve as Zonal Representative — acting as a point of contact between IIMB and students in my zone.

My family is based in Beed, Maharashtra — a joint family of seven. My father and uncle run a distribution business of Veedol engine oil and SJR Tyres, and are dealers of JK Tyres. I've grown up surrounded by business conversations, which shaped my commercial instincts from an early age.

I'm currently enrolled in the NSE NCCMP trading course to build structured capital markets knowledge alongside my academics. In my free time, I enjoy travelling, photography, reading, cooking, and listening to music.
