I hail from Andhra Pradesh, India. I studied until Grade 10 in Bharatiya Vidya Bhavans Residential Public school from 2013 - 24 in CBSE. Currently, I am studying in Chinmaya International Residential School , Coimbatore and am undertaking International Baccalaureate Diploma Program.

I am passionate about economics, especially behavioral and psychological aspects of it. I enjoy studying the rationale between human decisions and theories and modellings behind it. Human behavior around money, their decision making skills, and the so obvious - yet - so - subtle biases and errors simply fascinate me. I stumbled upon behavioral economics in my IBDP as a part of markets. This sparked my interest to study this subject outside my diploma program. Apart from school, I am really passionate about music. I learnt how to sing since 3rd grade and how to play the electronic keyboard since 7th grade. I also like to read a lot. I prefer to read mystery fiction and books by Richard Thaler. I also enjoy planning and organization.

An idea worth spreading is the possible intersection of ideas, problems and totally unique fields. Creative and innovative solutions can be born from the crossroads of differences, and the thought of intersections should be embraced and accepted.
