Undergraduate student at BITS Pilani Goa Campus. Currently pursuing my Masters in Economics and Bachelors in Chemical Engineering. Have been a part of TEDxBITSGoa for the last 2 years.

Financial Management and Social Entrepreneurship are two things that really arouse my interest. The passion to pursue these not only excite me but also motivate me to make a difference in the society.

Event Management, Leadership, Marketing, Policy Formulation, Public Relations, Publicity, Social Media, Sponsorship

As a new member of the TEDxBITSGoa 2015 organizing team I was efficiently introduced to the true sense of TED and TEDx. This helped me to provide valuable inputs in speaker research. The team was highly dedicated and always encouraged me to think creatively. I worked on handling media and logistics work - setting up the backstage, managing the travel and accommodation of the speakers, video recording for the event and coming up with publicity ideas to involve the local community and spread the ideologies of TEDx. The other team members took care of the sponsorship work and we had a good response from that side too, which helped us a lot. The event taught me about different things like managing tasks, helped me identify myself, and improved my interpersonal skills. Overall, it helped me sharpen my management, marketing and social media skills.
