I am an engineering student who grew up at the crossroads of curiosity, community, and creation. My journey has unfolded not just through circuits and code, but through the experiences, people, and ideas that shaped how I see the world. Over the years, I found myself drawn to spaces where learning becomes collaborative, where young innovators rise together, and where leadership is not a title but an act of service.My work across IEEE has been a defining part of that journey. From serving as the Hub Student Representative of the IEEE IA/IE/PELS Joint Chapter Kerala Section to leading the IEEE Industrial Application Society Student Branch Chapter at Amal Jyothi College of Engineering, I’ve learned what it means to bring people together around purpose and possibility. I’ve contributed as a Judge for the IEEE SSCS International Arduino Contest 2025 (Asia–Pacific Team), supported campus initiatives as a documentation and coordination lead, and engaged deeply with student-driven innovation communities. I’ve also stepped into creative and production spaces most recently as a Production Team Member for TEDxAJCE 2025 where I learned the power of storytelling, atmosphere, and the unseen work that transforms an idea into an experience. My earlier experience founding and leading the MGM Speakers’ Club gave me my first glimpse into how environments of trust and expression can spark personal transformation. Whether as a Smart India Hackathon'24 Finalist or as a volunteer shaping student events, I have always been guided by the belief that learning is most powerful when it is shared. Every role, every project, and every collaboration has added a new thread to my understanding of leadership one woven with empathy, clarity, and the determination to help people grow together.

My TED journey began with a simple desire: to help create a space where ideas feel alive. Joining TEDxAJCE as a Production Team Member showed me the incredible impact that thoughtful storytelling, atmosphere, and community can have on people. Behind every TED event lies a team that believes in voices worth hearing and being part of that team taught me how powerful it is to build experiences that inspire, challenge, and connect. For me, TED is not just an event; it is a reminder that ideas become movements when people choose to share them.
