About Me
Air Force Kid
My dad was an Engineer with the Indian Air Force, which meant having to move every 1-3 years. The changing cultures and environments taught me how to adapt to change, while also helping me pick up new languages.
KVs through and through
If your Dad has a transferrable job, chances are you're schooling at Kendriya Vidyalaya. With an unrivalled network, great teachers and decent infrastructure, KVs helped me keep up my academics despite changing environments
NIT Karnataka, Surathkal
2010-2014
Thanks to a great AIEEE score, I was able to get into the Electrical branch at NITK. While my academics at college were fairly good, my true achievement there was my participation in the Artists' Forum, of which I became the Chairman in my final year.
Application Developer, Oracle
2014-2016
I was recruited by Oracle from campus and had a very fulfilling 2 years learning how web technologies and infrastructure works. I was primarily working on developing features and updates for on-premise and cloud distributions of Oracle's InQuira / Knowledge platform which helps CSRs assist customers as well as enables customers to self-serve.
IIM Indore
2016-2018
I converted IIM Indore in the first list and instead of waiting for a better convert next year, I followed my gut and joined the 2016-18 batch. I am yet to regret that decision. At IIM Indore, I tasted success as well as failure, and my campus experience taught me lessons that continue to guide my personal & professional life.
PwC US Advisory
2018-2020
Hired as an Experienced Associate with the Delivering Deal Value (DDV) practice at PwC US Advisory, I specialized in helping Private Equity and Corporate clients assess the technological impacts & risks of their acquisitions & divestitures. Additionally, I also worked on multiple operational carve-outs, synergy validations and sign-to-close support projects. I was promoted to Senior Associate in July 2020, and as a senior I organized training for the campus batch of 2020 and also led knowledge management initiatives within PwC DDV.
