Hello there !
I hail from Mangalore, a coastal city and education hub of Karnataka. One of the most beautiful city surrounded by magnificent beaches and western ghats.
​
I am a maker as well as a dreamer. I used to indulge in crafts, DIY, and art from a very young age. I love kayaking and have been a part of a kayaking club in my hometown of Mulki.
​
I spent most of my spare time in my Engineering days working in a maker space and building minor projects, which inspired me to become a product designer and have been working on putting the skills learned into building sustainable products as well as improving existing solutions for the betterment of the community
​
I used to attend robotic events across IITs often to hone my skills in mechatronics and IoT which were also my hobbies
Been a part of M19 Collective, one of the biggest collaborations of maker spaces in India to develop, manufacture and cater to the needs of safety requirements of frontline workers in the need of the hour when the pandemic broke out.
I took up the position of Program Head of the Makerspace after graduation to pursue my interest in working in the field of Social & Design-led Innovation and work on SDG goals and impart the knowledge I gained to further develop more innovators.
