I identify as anti-caste, feminist, atheist, rationalist, and an introvert. I strive to live a principled life founded on authenticity, empathy, curiosity and grit. I enjoy history, reading, hiking, birdwatching, singing, and F1.

I was born in Thiruthuraipoondi and brought up in Chennai (❤️). I spent all my childhood summers in the beautiful coastal village of Pushpavanam (❤️) where my mom is from.

As a kid, I dreamt of becoming an archaeologist (always loved History). Around 9th grade, I dreamt of becoming an astronaut (inspired by Kalpana Chawla). In classic fashion, I eventually ended up doing computer science engineering and then an MBA a few years later. Professionally, I've worked as a teacher in a public school in Chennai for 2 years, and then as a product manager across edtech, health tech, civic innovation and automotive tech. Here is a little bit about my ever evolving career.
