About

I have worked in the tech industry for almost 6 years. My love for finding logics and solving problems led me to take Computer Science as my major during my graduation and then I started to love developing products using innovative tech stack everyday with the mindset of providing ease to the community using technology. I started my career by significantly contributing to a startup, with it successfully growing into a mid-scale organisation during my tenure there and hence, was driven to start something of my own. After experimenting w/ multiple startup ideas, I chose to get into one of the biggest still being explored markets in this country, i.e, event facilitation. Now, as a founder/CEO of Gala Celebrations (an event facilitation & decor styling firm), I’m looking forward to reaching new heights. I am a firm believer of ‘Work hard and play hard’ mentality. Everyday, I try to not just accept but question, to challenge and push myself to newer goals and higher standards. Driven by growth and attitude.
