About Me

Hey there! I'm an aspiring engineer, amateur art exhibition curator, relentless researcher, and budding entrepreneur.

Check out Haven Crafts, the artist cooperative I launched so that Pattachitra painters in India receive 100% of their profits and global exposure. And take a look at my exhibition Odisha Illuminated of their work which is being exhibited at three universities and counting.

Give me your thoughts on my inventions (patents pending!): an ergonomic table to reduce fatigue for artisans and a dust suppression system for stone workers exposed to silicosis risks.

Read the booklet I published after interviewing human rights lawyers about youth civil rights, which was distributed to 30 schools in Odisha, India using grant funding.

Feel free to check out my research: from microplastics, astrophysics or chainmail engineering, I'm always switching gears!

When I’m not outdoors exploring new trails or lost in a good conversation, you can find me smashing shuttlecocks on the badminton court, twirling to Indian classical rhythms, whipping up intricate cakes, or scouting hidden gems on food maps with my friends.

I hope you have fun getting to know me!
