About

I simplify Chemical Engineering concepts for students and young professionals while applying them in real-world projects at Engineers India Limited (EIL), a Navratna CPSE. Graduated from NIT Surat, I’ve built my journey through hands-on exposure at BASF, L&T Hydrocarbon, IOCL (Gujarat Refinery), and international research at the Technical University of Munich under the DAAD-WISE Fellowship. Along the way, I cracked GATE twice — AIR 910 (2024) to AIR 156 (2025) — proving to myself that persistence beats prestige. At NIT, I served as President of AIChE ChES SVNIT, where I led technical initiatives, mentored peers, and created platforms that bridged classroom theory with industry practice. My work and interests span Biomass Gasification, Carbon Capture, Advanced Separation, Heat Exchanger Design, and now — the intersection of AI, coding, and chemical engineering. Beyond engineering, I’m a content creator, gardener, cook, and coder. On LinkedIn, I share practical, relatable ChemE insights to make learning easier for students and early professionals. What I’m exploring: How advanced computational tools and AI models can transform traditional chemical engineering. What I’m open to: Collaborations, discussions on process design/energy/sustainability, and mentoring budding engineers. happy learning :)

  • In this internship, I worked on the process design of a Natural Gas Dehydration Unit, focusing on equipment sizing, process control logic, and safety design. I analyzed key components like pumps, heat exchangers, and compressors, developed P&IDs, and studied PSV design as part of HAZOP and safety compliance. The experience provided insights into EPC workflows and the integration of process safety in early-stage design.
