About

I never had a clear answer growing up, when asked, “What do you want to be?” Although in 2016, my career was to go the normal route of doing research in Economics but it didn’t deem fit to my appetite to understand the world from multitude of perspectives. Having then gone in the direction of starting a career in public policy which was grounded in life’s conglomerate reality, I felt the need to experience exponential growth by moving to the corporate sector for how systems help solve the world’s most pressing problems. This inevitably puts working towards achieving sustainability at the priority. My journey has been about unmarking my territory and applying what each industry or field teaches me to the next. As this more often than not doesn’t happen, being an early professional, I would want to continue honing this craft of how to problem solve.
