I am currently pursuing my B.Tech in Computer Science at GLA University, Mathura, and I am in my second year of graduation. Alongside my academics, I actively contribute to the Entrepreneurship Cell, GLAU, where I serve as the Head of the Corporate Relations Team. In this role, I lead collaborations, manage outreach, and work closely on initiatives that strengthen the entrepreneurial ecosystem on campus. I am also a Core Team Member of the IDE Bootcamp, conducted by the Ministry of Education in collaboration with the Wadhwani Foundation. Through my involvement in major startup-focused events like Techstars Startup Weekend and the IDE Bootcamp, I continue to explore innovation, leadership, and the rapidly growing startup culture within the university.

I am deeply passionate about innovation, technology, and building environments where ideas grow into meaningful solutions. I love exploring how entrepreneurship can solve real-world problems, especially through collaborative communities like E-Cell. Whether it’s organizing startup events, connecting with founders, or leading teams, I’m driven by the excitement of creating opportunities that inspire students to think bigger, build boldly, and push beyond limitations. My journey in tech and community leadership fuels my mission to empower young innovators and contribute to a stronger startup ecosystem.

The world’s next big breakthroughs won’t always come from boardrooms or established companies — they will come from students who choose to build, experiment, and take action today. When young innovators stop waiting for the “right time” and start solving real problems around them, they create momentum that transforms campuses into hubs of entrepreneurship, and ideas into impactful ventures.

My journey hasn’t been a straight line—it’s been a series of rises, setbacks, and comebacks. From building a YouTube community of nearly 20,000 subscribers through pure consistency and passion, to losing that entire channel overnight after it was hacked, I’ve experienced what it feels like to watch years of effort disappear in a moment. But that loss didn’t break me—it became the push that shaped who I am today. Now, as a second-year B.Tech Computer Science student and Head of the Corporate Relations Team in the Entrepreneurship Cell at GLA University, I channel the same resilience into tech, leadership, and building opportunities for others. Events like Techstars Startup Weekend and the IDE Bootcamp have shown me that innovation isn’t about never falling—it’s about rising every single time. My story is simply this: no matter how many times life resets me, I choose to rebuild, relearn, and return stronger.

Many people know me for my work in tech and entrepreneurship, but what most don’t know is that I’m also really good at playing the guitar. It’s something I’ve practiced quietly over the years, and it’s become one of my favorite ways to unwind, express creativity, and find rhythm outside of work. Whether it’s learning new melodies or creating my own tunes, the guitar is a skill that stays behind the scenes—yet it’s a big part of who I am.
