By the time I finished high school, I had been the new kid in six classrooms.
Across eight cities and four languages. Each move meant standing at the doorway, backpack in hand, watching strangers judge me before I spoke. Survival meant decoding unspoken rules, adapting accents overnight, figuring out who belonged and who didn't. That's where the obsession started: not just adapting for myself, but building systems where no one has to struggle to belong.
In tenth grade, I volunteered as a scribe for a para-athlete classmate. What started as academic help became something deeper: I saw how a talented student gets sidelined by a system that doesn't speak his language. The next year, I was elected Head Boy. I tried to lead the way he'd taught me — not by speaking loudest, but by making space.
At nineteen I co-founded Clan. At twenty-two I joined HyperVerge as an intern with no roadmap and no guarantee. Three years later, I'm leaving as a PM who shipped products that now drive a majority of the company's revenue in India, heading to Dartmouth to figure out what comes next.
I've drawn inspiration from leaders who led by empowering others, not overshadowing them. I try to be clear in uncertainty, calm in chaos, grounded in empathy. Some days I'm better at it than others.
