Last Employer: Teach for India

I have done my B.Tech in IT from NMIMS, Mumbai. After graduating, I worked as a Teach ForIndia fellow (2016-18) in Mumbai. During my stint at TFI, I understood the myriad of challenges that students & their community faces at large & devoted myself in finding solutions to solve the personal problems of my students & their parents & bring a sustainable reform in the community they lived in. It was a way of knowing for me as to what it takes to bring the best in people under my sphere of influence & how do I create a community-wide impact.

Having romanticised the notion of serving one’ s nation forthe past 6 years from the time I started my B.Tech & a passion for public service, I decided to pursue civil services & hence appeared thrice forthe exam. The idea was to scale my radius of impact through effective policy decisions. As an Aspirational District Fellow, I intend to take all the acquired learnings & expertise from the education sector & the academic knowledge acquired through civil services preparation in enabling better governance in the district I’ m allocated.
