I was born and brought up in Bengaluru, Karnataka, India. Owing to the cosmopolitan nature of my hometown, I can speak English, Hindi, Kannada, Telugu, Tamil and Malayalam.

After completing my B.E., I took a break for six months and worked at Make A Difference, which is a childcare NGO that mainly caters to educational needs of children in various orphanages across the country. I taught English and Science to a group of 9th grade kids. I hold a keen interest in primary-school level science education.

During my leisure, I enjoy reading and singing (Carnatic vocal). I am an enthusiastic traveller and also enjoy hiking, trail running, trekking and river rafting.
