I've taken a slightly unconventional path—starting with Engineering, moving through my years as a UPSC aspirant, and now working as a Consultant at PwC in the Intelligent Government Transformation space.

What this journey taught me is that changing directions doesn't mean discarding the past. Each phase added a layer to how I think and work.

Engineering sharpened my analytical mindset; UPSC expanded the way I understand systems, policy, and society; and consulting helped me apply structured problem-solving in real-world contexts.

It's this intersection of disciplines that now shapes my perspective and drives my career forward.
