About

At UPenn I currently lead the Penn Hyperloop team in competing to dig tunnels for The Boring Company. I am focused on owning engineering systems and driving them to completion through first-principles & results-based thinking. Pursuing a Master's in Systems Engineering and a Bachelor's in Mechanical Enginering (expected May 2027 graduation with both degrees).

Generally interested in energy tech, embodied AI, transportation, mass manufacturing, and VC spaces.

I am originally from India, but grew up in Dubai, UAE and call it home. In my free time, I like to workout, watch/read sci-fi, follow Formula 1.
