I am passionate about storytelling. I find it a very efficient tool to communicate in the best possible manner.

I am passionate about fostering meaningful connections, encouraging lifelong learning, and creating spaces for innovative ideas to thrive. I’m particularly driven by the intersection of business, sustainability, and technology and how these elements can come together to solve real-world challenges. In my personal life, I find joy in inspiring others through storytelling, public speaking, and sharing knowledge that empowers individuals to make a difference.

I have always believed in the concept of celebrating differences. I believe that diversity is the spice to our life, for what would the world be if we were all just clones? I am passionate about making these differences be recognised and helping people be proud of what sets them apart from the crowd; about ensuring that everyone has a platform to freely and safely express who they are. Ever so often, we tend to hide behind what we think is ‘socially acceptable’. This veil of conformity must be swept aside if we are to fully achieve our potential. Until people do not start stepping up and declaring who they really are, the world stays a step away from becoming a more diverse, more interesting place. I am passionate about redefining the term ‘socially acceptable’ as a concept that we give our own meaning to. The idea of what is socially acceptable is a highly subjective one. Thus, being forever constrained by this term that doesn’t have any concrete meaning whatsoever is just another thing holding us back from being who we truly are.

Widening my horizons of ignorance & Education This has been explained best in this book - The Island of Knowledge: The Limits of Science and the Search for Meaning, physicist Marcelo Gleiser writes this – "Consider, then, the sum total of our accumulated knowledge as constituting an island, which I call the Island of Knowledge. A vast ocean surrounds the Island of Knowledge, the unexplored ocean of the unknown, hiding countless tantalizing mysteries. As the Island of Knowledge grows, so do the shores of our ignorance—the boundary between the known and unknown. Learning more about the world doesn’t lead to a point closer to a final destination — whose existence is nothing but a hopeful assumption anyways — but to more questions and mysteries. The more we know, the more exposed we are to our ignorance, and the more we know to ask"
