My journey began with an insatiable curiosity for technology, often dismantling and studying machines to understand their workings. This hands-on approach was my preferred way of learning, as academic paths didn’t always resonate with me. I realized that practical experiences left a more profound impact than theoretical knowledge, leading me to explore learning beyond traditional classrooms.

Challenges and Breakthroughs
Despite struggling with conventional education, mentors like Sapna Didi and Ganesh Uncle provided the guidance I needed to strengthen my foundational skills. In 8th grade, my teacher Lini Siddharthan’s engaging teaching methods turned science from a daunting subject into a captivating one. Her approach helped transform my attitude toward learning, proving that education could be both meaningful and enjoyable.

Finding My Voice and Building Confidence
In my early years, I was quite introverted, but participating in social activities helped me break out of my shell. Engaging with different communities, I discovered my passion for public speaking, which enabled me to share my thoughts confidently and connect with others. This newfound ability to express myself became an essential part of my personal growth.

The Transformative Power of Travel
Traveling opened my eyes to a world of possibilities. My journey took me from local adventures to international volunteering, where I learned invaluable lessons about different cultures, lifestyles, and perspectives. Photography became a way to document these experiences, deepening my understanding of the world and fueling my passion for storytelling.

Mentorship and Personal Growth
One of the most significant turning points was meeting Hitesh Purohit, my mentor during my Civil Engineering diploma. His belief in my potential encouraged me to think beyond conventional paths, igniting my interest in entrepreneurship, education, and making a social impact. His mentorship taught me that with the right guidance and opportunities, anyone can unlock their potential.

Building a Vision for the Future
Today, I channel my experiences into inspiring and empowering others. I am dedicated to promoting practical education, encouraging creativity, and fostering an environment where learning is not confined to textbooks but experienced through hands-on exploration. I believe that everyone has a unique journey, and through initiatives like MakerYatra, I aim to share stories, knowledge, and opportunities that inspire others to pursue their passions.
