Brainstormer, Idea generator, Student

Student at BITS Pilani Goa Campus. Studying Computer Science as my Major and doing a Minor in Physics. Technological innovation excites me, and its application to solve real world problems is the path to a brighter future. I enjoy meeting new people and being extra social, but I also enjoy sitting alone in the dark and contemplating life.

I think social entrepreneurship combined with the power of technology is one of the most exciting and promising ways, we as a society can develop. Not only does it contain the excitement that any traditional entrepreneur seeks, but it also brings in new dimensions of success. Successful social ventures have the ability to drive change, and when backed by technology can do so rapidly and effectively.

TED and TEDx talks have deeply interested me since I was very young. It is with the motivation of creating similar talks for the people around me that I joined the TEDxBITSGoa team in 2017. Two years later, after having helped organise two highly appreciated TEDx events (TEDxBITSGoa 2018 and TEDxBITSGoa 2019) I am extremely glad I did so. Interacting with the speakers and coordinating with the various stakeholders to ensure a smooth and interactive event has taught me more that I ever thought possible, and has imbibed me with life skills that are sure to prove useful in all my future projects. I am looking forward to organising and participating in more TEDx events in the future too.

Being creative. Given situations with constrains, I enjoy coming up with creative solutions.
