Personal

Early Life

I was born and raised in Visakhapatnam, India. Graduated from NIT Raipur with a degree in Electronics & Communications. I moved to Bangalore for work in August 2020, had to move back home during COVID, and returned in April 2021. I’ve been living here ever since. I was a top student in school, not as much in college, but I made sure to compensate post-college.

Career

I work with intensity and always aim to give my best. I started as an analyst, switched roles a couple of times, and after a few promotions, became a product manager—a role I’ve wanted for a long time. I now aim to become one of the finest in the field.

Animals

I love animals. I have a 5-year-old Rottweiler named Zelda—she’s my absolute favorite. For a while, she lived with my dad when I moved to Bangalore, and I missed her so much that I briefly petsat her for a few months. I also love riding horses.

Running

Running has always been a habit for me. I started taking it seriously in January 2024. I have a sub-30 5K, completed a couple of half marathons, and participated in many events. My proudest achievement in running is inspiring friends and family to start running themselves.

Photography

I love photography. Back in college, I often took pictures of friends and coordinated public media for NIT Raipur. Now, I post carousels of my travels on Instagram whenever I find something beautiful.

Volunteering

I worked with an NGO called U&I in 2021, teaching underprivileged and marginalized children for a full year. I also helped raise about 75K INR in their annual fundraising campaign. It was a fulfilling experience that reminded me of life beyond work.

YouTube & Streaming

I occasionally stream study-with-me and build-with-me sessions on YouTube, focusing on learning product management and software development. It’s a fun way to share knowledge and gain new skills.
