The Storyteller.

I am an Ideator. Day Dreamer. Startup Enthusiast. Design Thinking Enthusiast. Former Entrepreneur. Foodie. Traveler. Technology geek.

I am a curious and empathetic creative thinker skilled at driving human-centered design innovation and strategy. I am always on a lookout to reimagine what is possible when technology meets design and data, with a keen grasp of complex user experience and marketing strategy with technical and design sensibility. I create stories that not only engage, inform and impact the audience but also deliver the measurable business goals

Currently pursuing full-time MBA, Class of 2017, at Rotman School of Management, University of Toronto with a passion for strategy, design innovation, behavioral science, and human-centered design. I am employed as a Foresight Intern at Idea Couture, a strategic innovation and experience design firm, investing probable, possible and plausible future scenarios and business opportunities around disruptive technologies.

Prior to returning to school, I was working with International Center for Automotive Technology as a senior engineer in the regulatory compliance and applications area. My work experience includes market research, business development, innovation strategy, data analysis, project management, automotive regulatory compliance, and applications.

I failed twice and failed fast to get my feet wet around building a tech startup. After failing in few initial attempts, I founded my first startup venture BigFoodTheory with my childhood friend.

I believe in giving back to the society. I have volunteered for Make A Difference - India's largest Youth Volunteer Network for the education of Children at risk, as a marketing and events volunteer to lead team of 25 volunteers and raised funds to support the education of more than 100 children in shelter homes and orphanages through designing donor-centric fundraising events and campaigns and connecting people to the cause.

I love traveling, cooking, exploring new places and learning about the history, culture and traditions.

I idolize APJ Abdul Kalam, Elon Musk, Richard Branson and Steve Jobs.
