A personal note

I write because learning genuinely gives me energy. I absolutely classify myself as a reader, an eager listener and an observer of the mechanics that make the world.

I grew up in Bangalore, which shaped who I am and taught me foundational thinking. At 18, I moved to Sweden to study Software Engineering and Management where I learned the art of structure and how to take a complex problem, break it down to its fundamental components and come up with a solution.

But it was a student consultancy that truly changed my trajectory. That experience exposed me to the raw energy of leadership, entrepreneurship and strategic thinking!

This realisation led me to a Master's in Management at Lund University, the most energy giving year of my life where I got to learn exactly what I was interested in: how resources are allocated and teams are led. Now, at UC Berkeley as a Visiting Graduate, I am diving deeper into these concepts. I am constantly exposed to ideas that challenge my assumptions. I started this blog to synthesise the conversations, learnings and articles I encounter into structural insights.

Outside of studies and work, I feel most energised by spending time in nature and engaging in physical activities. I recently picked up golf and believe it is the perfect way to spend a weekend. I also completed my first half marathon this year (a humbling experience). I am also a classically trained dancer of ten years and played piano for seven years!

I am always open to feedback and fresh perspectives. If you have thoughts on any of my pieces, my inbox is open.
