Summary

As a Business analytics and Economics student, I'm learning what it takes to build ventures that connect people and create meaningful impact. I founded Khoj Community—a platform of 200+ young creators spanning an underground hip-hop label, a peer-to-peer mental health helpline, and a podcast featuring emerging entrepreneurs. My recent work teaching English to domestic violence survivors at Snehalaya reinforced what I've always believed: real entrepreneurship isn't just about building businesses, it's about uplifting communities. With 14+ years as a Kathak dancer and experience in 20+ theatrical productions, I've learned that leadership requires both discipline and the ability to tell compelling stories. Whether directing educational television for rural children, leading corporate relations for campus initiatives, or working hands-on in agricultural fields, I approach every opportunity as a chance to learn and grow. I'm committed to building organizations that don't just succeed—they serve the people who need them most
