Artist, Student

I’m a B.Tech student at GRIET and trained Bharatanatyam artist. Curious about ideas that connect diverse fields and perspectives. Creating spaces where technology, art and people come together.

I’m passionate about the vision I have and the curiosity to explore where it can take me. It could be a choreography I imagine, a project I want to build, or an event I want to create. I enjoy taking an idea that starts in my head and working on it until it becomes something real. I’m also interested in AI and technology, while dance and creativity give me a completely different way to express myself. I enjoy exploring all of these interests and finding ways to bring them together.

I feel balance is something we don't talk about enough. It is not about giving everything equal time, but knowing what matters at different points in life. Sometimes it is about finding a space between art and technology, or following your passion while also thinking about your pension. It can be about respecting tradition without being afraid of innovation. We often think we have to choose one side, but maybe we don't. I believe some of the best ideas and choices come when we learn to make these different parts of life work together.

Creative Direction, Event Curation, Leadership

I’ve always enjoyed TED Talks for the different ideas and perspectives they bring together. I’ve been watching them since I was young and have also attended TEDx events as an audience member and as a performer. Being part of the TEDxGRIET organising team has given me the chance to work with diverse teams and understand what goes into creating the event. Now, I’m eager to lead and build a stage that people remember - not just for the event, but for the ideas and conversations it leaves behind.

I enjoy bringing order to complexity. Whether I'm organizing an event or working with a team, I do my best work under pressure, solving problems thoughtfully, and creating an environment where people feel empowered to contribute their best ideas.
