Student at IIT Roorkee

Chennai, India

I am passionate about exploring the intersection of technology and society and understand how paradigm-shifting innovations and technologies can shape the future and affect societal dynamics. I am an avid reader and a football aficionado. I constantly seek to expand my knowledge and stay updated on the latest advancements in various domains, with a keen interest in energy transition.
I'm a 4th year undergrad from IIT Roorkee. As an E-Cell IIT Roorkee member, I'm actively involved in my campus's startup ecosystem. I have led various initiatives, the notable being my tenure as Co-Convener of E-Summit'24- our annual flagship event. I'm currently in Bangalore for an internship and want to utilise my limited time in this city to the fullest.

The eChai Effect - In Their Words

"We found eChai to be a force multiplier throughout our startup journey. Through it, we connected with folks from DevX, Allevents, Plutomen, and more - many of whom became friends of IndiaBizForSale.com and even part of our clientele."

"After moving back from the USA, eChai became my go-to space to learn how the Indian startup ecosystem works. It offered direct exposure to startup thinking and a community that openly shares business insights. What stood out was how easy it was to connect, learn, and grow through real conversations. As we built our IT hardware rentals business, eChai helped us find our niche and refine our path. Proud and grateful to be part of this amazing community."

"eChai has played a truly pivotal role in HummingBird’s journey — even before Day Zero. From ideation to establishment and into growth, it’s been a constant source of support. It connected me with incredible people who’ve become more than just friends. One of the biggest reasons I chose to stay in Ahmedabad is because of the eChai community. It has shaped my growth — both personally and professionally — in ways that are hard to articulate. Honestly, words fall short when I try to express what eChai means to me. I’m deeply thankful and forever grateful to eChai for being such an integral part of my journey."
