Sejal Budholiya — Co-Founder
Hello! 👋 I'm Sejal Budholiya (she/her) Recently graduated from TU Delft's Strategic Product Design program with the Justus & Louise van Effen scholarship. My background started in Mechanical Engineering in India, then led me through aerospace at Collins Aerospace ✈️ before discovering my passion for people-centred design. What I bring: A blend of technical foundations and creative problem-solving. I've been fortunate to work with KLM on business innovation, research gender equity issues, and explore how design can drive meaningful change. Outside academics, I've been involved with Gaia 🌕 (menstrual equity campaign) and co-founded Neysa 🎭, teaching performing arts to underrepresented communities in India. I'm drawn to the intersection of strategy and storytelling, where business meets social impact 💡 Currently exploring opportunities in management, strategic innovation, or business development starting mid-2025 🚀 Always up for conversations about innovation, design for good, or even dance 🩰 - feel free to connect!
