I’m passionate about cricket and business-related topics. Cricket has always been a huge part of my life, both as a sport I enjoy playing and following, while my interest in business drives me to learn as much as I can about finance, the stock market, and how money moves. These two passions, though very different, keep me constantly curious and engaged.

Last year, I gave a TED talk about breakthroughs in AI, focusing on "An Idea Worth Spreading." In the talk, I explored both the positives and negatives of AI, delving into the many innovations that AI has brought into our lives. I also highlighted the ways in which AI could put us in danger, raising important questions about its ethical implications and future impact on society. By covering this range of perspectives, I aimed to spark a balanced conversation about the potential and risks of AI.

Last year, I had the chance to deliver my first TEDxYouth talk, and it was one of the most transformative experiences I’ve ever had. Speaking on such a prestigious platform felt surreal, especially since it was my first time sharing my ideas in front of such a large audience. I chose to talk about breakthroughs in AI, a subject that I’m deeply passionate about. The process of preparing the talk pushed me out of my comfort zone in the best way possible. From crafting the narrative to practicing how to engage the audience, it was a journey of growth. I spent countless hours researching, trying to find the perfect balance between discussing the benefits of AI, like its ability to solve complex problems, and the risks it poses, such as job displacement and ethical concerns. It was a challenge to simplify such a complex topic and present it in a way that was accessible to everyone, but TEDx has a way of forcing you to think deeply about how to communicate ideas that matter.

People don’t know that I’m actually pretty good at singing. I don’t sing much anymore, but I used to be in the choir for about five years during elementary school as part of an extracurricular activity. It was something I really enjoyed back then, but over time, I just drifted away from it. Even though I don’t sing anymore, those years in the choir gave me an appreciation for music that I still carry with me today.
