I'm a B.Tech Computer Science student at Amity University Bengaluru with a strong interest in medtech ; the intersection of medicine and technology. I’m passionate about building solutions that can improve healthcare accessibility and impact lives. Beyond academics, I love being part of dynamic teams through event management and enjoy public speaking as a way to spark conversations and share ideas that matter. I thrive where innovation meets human connection.

I’m passionate about speaking and the genuine connections it creates. For me, communication isn’t just about words ,it’s about energy, presence, and impact. Whether on stage or in a room full of strangers, I love creating space where people feel heard and ideas feel alive. Public speaking gives me the chance to inspire, connect, and learn. Every voice matters, and I believe in using mine to build bridges, not walls. That’s what excites me: turning thoughts into conversation, and conversation into connection.

Success isn’t a checklist, it’s a direction.We grow up surrounded by comparisons , marks, milestones, likes, All shaping what we think we should be. In the noise of expectations, we often forget to ask ourselves what truly matters. Success doesn’t have to look the same for everyone. It isn’t about being the best in the room but becoming the most honest version of ourselves. When we shift from pressure to purpose, we find clarity. We begin to value growth over perfection, learning over proving, and meaning over medals. We realize that rest is not laziness, and failure is not the end. We are allowed to pause, to rethink, to change paths. That doesn’t mean we’re lost ,it means we’re learning. Let’s stop measuring our worth by someone else’s scale and start building lives that feel fulfilling, not just impressive.That’s an idea worth spreading

My TED journey began with a talk that felt like it was speaking directly to me “How to stay calm when you know you’ll be stressed” by Daniel Levitin. It wasn’t just about managing stress; it was about preparing for life with clarity and intention. That one talk shifted how I approach challenges, not with panic, but with perspective. It taught me that calm isn’t something you find in the moment, it’s something you build ahead of time. That idea stuck with me. It sparked my love for TED and the kind of thinking that turns chaos into control.

I’ve often wondered what I’m truly good at. Not the things people expect, or what shows up on a resume but the quiet strengths that reveal themselves in moments I hardly notice. Maybe it’s the way I listen, or how I stay calm in chaos. Maybe it’s how I make people feel comfortable, or how I turn thoughts into words that connect. I’m still figuring it out and that’s okay. Sometimes, not knowing is the first step toward discovering. I believe we all have gifts that show up when we least expect them. I’m ready to find mine.
