About Me
My journey began at ZS Associates, a global management consulting and technology firm, where I dedicated myself to applying analytics and strategic insights to drive meaningful impact in the healthcare sector.
Currently, I am pursuing a Full-Time MBA with a dual degree in MS Analytics at Texas A&M, where I’m diving deeper into building my leadership, financial, and strategic decision-making skills. This summer, I explored product management within the tech space at Hewlett Packard Enterprise to help standardize product catalogs and shape user-centric pricing strategies for their Private Cloud AI portfolio. At the heart of it, I’m driven by curiosity and a strong desire to build things that create impact and move people forward. Grounded in the values of servant leadership, I’m excited to contribute to impactful work that drives meaningful progress.
My Story
From an early age, I was deeply inspired by the power of education and business to drive change. My grandfather, who played a key role in shaping India’s Education System under Indira Gandhi, instilled in me the importance of learning as a tool for empowerment. Coupled with my father’s journey as a first-generation entrepreneur, I developed a deep appreciation for solving real problems through a mix of knowledge, leadership, and resilience.
In my professional journey, I’ve applied analytics and strategy to tackle complex challenges across industries, leading cross-functional projects that aligned client goals with data-backed execution. Now as I pursue my MBA, I’m exploring the intersection of finance, operations management, marketing, and technology to create value across industries. I’m continually equipping myself with a diverse and transferable skill set to drive results that balance commercial impact with sustainability.
In my free time I enjoy doing…
Volunteering
Volunteering has been a deeply rewarding part of my life, especially at Adarsh Womens Polytechnic, where I’ve helped empower women from weaker socio-economic backgrounds towards self-reliance. For over five years now, I’ve served as Board Trustee and Head of Administration & Academics, redesigning vocational programs, mentoring faculty, and expanding employer partnerships.
Through these efforts, I’ve helped drive 20% rise in program completions and 60% increase in student placements, supporting over 1,100 women in gaining the skills, confidence, and access needed to pursue meaningful livelihoods. Witnessing their path toward independence and economic empowerment has been a humbling and energizing reminder of what it means to contribute to something larger than myself.
Hosting Events
I’ve always loved bringing people together, whether it’s through casual gatherings, festive celebrations, or team events. At ZS, I helped organize over 25 bonding events, 5 recognition programs, and hosted 3 leadership visits, all while managing logistics for 140+ colleagues across locations.
Since starting my MBA, I’ve continued hosting, from Diwali dinners to cohort socials, tailgates and networking mixers. I especially enjoy planning the flow, setting the vibe, and often even cooking a few dishes myself. For me, it’s about creating spaces where people feel welcome, connect, and leave with great conversations, and a few photos to remember it by!
Cooking
Cooking has always been something I’ve truly enjoyed, especially because it’s something I’ve shared and learned alongside my mother, who’s both a professional cook and a patient teacher. Over time, I’ve found my rhythm in the kitchen, particularly with North Indian dishes (Rajma Rice is my go-to comfort meal!). I also love putting together my version of Red Sauce Pasta using my mom’s recipe, and I’ve gotten pretty good at quick sandwiches that hit the spot! For me, cooking is both a creative outlet and a way to bring people together, nothing beats the feeling of seeing friends & family enjoy what’s on the table.

Self Defense
In 2022, I made a conscious decision to build up both my physical and mental strength by taking up reality-based self-defense training at Fitcomb. The sessions combined elements of Karate and Krav Maga, with a strong focus on practical, situational techniques, like how to respond to close-range threats or disarm attackers. It wasn’t just about learning to fight; it was about staying alert, building confidence under pressure, and understanding how to protect myself and others if needed.
That year of training gave me a whole new appreciation for discipline, balance, and awareness. While I haven’t been as regular lately, it’s something I hope to get back to soon as it pushed me in ways I didn’t expect.
Dance & Music
Music and dance have always been a big part of my life. Growing up, I trained in Indian classical vocal music and even learned to play the bongos. A few years ago, during the lockdown, I picked up the guitar again after a long break, and while I’m a bit rusty again, it’s something I’ve really enjoyed reconnecting with.
On the dance side, it’s been a fun journey too. I started with free body movement to get past my inhibitions and later explored Latin forms like Bachata and Salsa, which I enjoy moving on. And like most of us from India, I’ve always loved the energy of Bollywood moves, especially at weddings, can never resist a good dance floor moment!
I also love attending live concerts, some of my favorites so far have been Arijit Singh, Ed Sheeran, and Coldplay. Next on my list: Taylor Swift, Weeknd, Adele, and Dua Lipa. Nothing beats the joy of being in the crowd, soaking in good music.
Blogging & Publications
Writing has always been a way for me to reflect, connect, and share what I’ve learned along the way. I’ve used platforms like Medium to blog about personal experiences, career lessons, and perspectives that I hope others can relate to or benefit from. While I haven’t been as active recently, I look forward to picking it up again soon.
Beyond blogging, I’ve also worked on whitepapers and technical publications, including one on building a Power Distribution Module for SAE Combustion Race Cars during my undergrad years. I try to stay active on LinkedIn, where I share updates from my journey and love hearing from others who resonate with similar paths. One day, I hope to write a novel, because I truly believe that knowledge, when shared, can be a powerful way to uplift others.
