Pursued an undergraduate degree in Product Design from ISDI Parsons, Mumbai, alongside a B.A. in Sociology from the University of Mumbai. During this time, launched a third startup, following two earlier unsuccessful attempts.

This entrepreneurial phase was followed by a Lead Experience Designer role, leading teams on projects for clients in industries such as FMCG, retail, and heavy engineering amongst others.

Subsequent efforts were directed towards consulting for early-stage startups (pre-seed to seed) and MSME's, solving business challenges through creative strategy and execution.

A strong curiosity and a desire to push boundaries led to the pursuit of a Master’s in Design at the Institute of Design, Chicago.
