About

Currently pursuing my MBA at IIM Shillong (2025–27) with a focus on strategy, operations, and consulting, I’m passionate about solving complex business problems through structured thinking and data-driven insights. Previously, I worked as an Electrical Engineer with over 2.5 years of hands-on experience in power system control and grid operations at CESC Limited—a premier power utility serving over 3.5 million customers in Kolkata. In the high-pressure environment of real-time grid management, I was responsible for ensuring stable, reliable, and sustainable electricity distribution across urban and industrial zones.
